Abstract

Macroinvertebrates are a significant class of creatures that are located in the sediment that lies below the water column and are essential to the health of any aquatic environment. Their research is crucial because, as a result of their sedentary habitat, macrobenthic organisms are well-known markers of anthropogenic stress. Freshwater invertebrates are not only a source of protein but also a link in the aquatic food chain and an indication of the health of the aquatic ecosystem. Freshwater invertebrates are food for a variety of fish, birds, and other aquatic organisms, they play a crucial role in the circulation and recirculation of nutrients in aquatic ecosystems by accelerating the breakdown of decaying organic matter into simpler inorganic forms. Benthic fauna also contributes significantly to the food chain for higher animal taxa by transmitting energy and matter from phytoplankton, zooplankton, and macrophytes to fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals as they serve as key food sources for them.
