Remarks This PT consists of two independent phases; the first is a "in situ" sampling and determination of IBMWP in an homogeneous river section (the river is located in Spain), and the second consists of the determination of a preserved sample containing a number of individuals from diferent families of macroinvertebrates. Laboratories can participate either in both phases or only in the second phase (laboratory determination of the sample containing the individuals); this option is meant for participants who are not able to attend the "in situ" phase.
