This paper aims to test the performance of two different biotic indices and the effect of four different sampling methods in assessing the water quality of the final tract of the River Tiber. One sampling methods involves use of a hand net for 3 minutes, the others use articial substrata left in water for all the study period. Our results showed a different performance of the two biotic indices and a significant effect of the sampling method on scores of the biotic indices.

Abstract
This paper aims to test the performance of two different biotic indices and the effect of four different sampling methods in assessing the water quality of the final tract of the River Tiber. One sampling methods involves use of a hand net for 3 minutes, the others use articial substrata left in water for all the study period. Our results showed a different performance of the two biotic indices and a significant effect of the sampling method on scores of the biotic indices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
