Question 43

The Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP) scoring system is used to assess the water quality of rivers using macroinvertebrates as bioindicators. Organisms highly sensitive to organic pollution and requiring high dissolved oxygen concentrations are assigned the highest scores (up to 10), whereas pollution-tolerant organisms receive the lowest scores (down to 1).

Which of the following organisms would be assigned the highest score on the BMWP scale?

Bloodworms (Chironomidae)

Water lice (Asellidae)

Mayfly nymphs (Ephemeroptera)

Sludgeworms (Tubificidae)
