Q: Why use Benthic Invertebrates for CABIN bioassessment? A: Benthic invertebrates are ideal for use in bioassessment because they are sedentary, and thus constantly exposed to the effects of pollution. They are reasonably long-lived (1-3 years in north-temperate waters) so the effects of environmental stressors can be time-integrated. Finally they occur in high diversity so many different species can potentially react to many different types of impacts.
