Application of an index of biotic integrity (IBI) to fish assemblage of the tropical Hooghly estuary MANAS KR. DAS AND SRIKANTA SAMANTA Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute (ICAR), Barrackpore-700 120, West Bengal, India
ABSTRACT The index of biotic integrity (IBI) was applied in 117 km stretch of the fresh water zone of Hooghly estuary in India and the effect of anthropogenic stress on fish assemblage integrity was evaluated. Seven new metrics viz., native species richness, native family richness, benthic species richness, water column species richness, % non-native individuals, % tolerant individuals and % herbivorous individuals were added retaining five original metrics. The number of native species and families, number of water column species, number of benthic species, number of intolerant species and percent individual as herbivores decreased significantly (P< 0.01) whereas the percentage of tolerant species, percent individual as omnivores and percent individual as carnivores increased significantly (P
