We describe a general process for developing an index of fish assemblage integrity, using
the Willamette Valley of Oregon, USA, as an example. Such an index is useful for assessing …

A multivariate measure of stream quality, the Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI), was adapted to
southern Ontario and calibrated to watershed land use on a variety of spatial scales. The fish …
