Currently, a large number of organisms (both wild and model) are used as bioindicators in pollution assessment studies in aquatic ecosystems; the most commonly used are fish (marine and freshwater), bivalves (marine), cladocerans, rotifers, macro-crustaceans, plants, and birds, among others (Zhou et al., 2008; Li et al., 2010; Minier et al., 2015; Colin et al., 2016).
