Fish and Macroinvertebrate Assemblage Composition and Diversity at Revetted Banks in the Pearl River and the Response of These Assemblages to a Paper Mill Effluent Spill

The armoring of river banks with riprap can have detrimental effects on lotic ecosystems due to the subsequent alteration of hydrologic regimes; however, evidence suggests that riprap can also increase aquatic diversity in degraded systems. The goal of my study was to determine what impacts riprappe...
