Abstract

Belawan River is very important for the residents of Medan and its surroundings. It serves as the main raw material for the local drinking water company, as well domestic, industrial, hotel and tourism. Many human activities had led to the declining condition of water in the river throughout the year. One way to approach the concept of bioindicator is by knowing Density, Relative Density, Frequency of Attendance, equitability, and diversity of the Makrozoobenthos itself. Results indicated that the Makrozoobenthos community were from 9 genera. Makrozoobenthos individual density was around 3,703 to 629,62 ind/m2. The diversity index was around 0 to 0,69, which is considered to have low to high pollution level. Equitability Index was approaching 0, with relatively high domination from Polymesoda erosa. The water quality that influences the diversity of Makrozoobenthos as bioindicator was light penetration.
