<p>This International Standard specifies criteria for the selection of sampling methods and devices (operation and</p>
<p>performance characteristics) used to evaluate benthic macroinvertebrate populations in fresh waters (rivers,</p>
<p>canals, lakes, and reservoirs). The methods and devices considered in this International Standard are suitable</p>
<p>for sampling all major components of the benthic assemblage. They are not suitable for sampling meiofauna.</p>
