Abstract

The datasetscontainedinthisarticlearebasedonabaselinestudy on theselectedphysicochemicalparametersandmacro-benthic invertebrates’ community ofEgini,andUbogoRiversinDeltaState for aperiodofsixmonths:February-July,2010,withininsix stations sharedequallyamongthetworiversusingthethree communities they flow throughasguideandwatersamplescol- lected onmonthlybasisfromthesestations.Theobjectivesinclude determination ofthespatialvariationsandbackgroundcon- centrations oftheselectedphysicochemicalparameters,species composition andabundanceofthemacro-benthicinvertebrates. Sixteen physicochemicalparameterswereanalyzedinthewater. Air andwatertemperatureandcurrentvelocityweredetermined in-situ; therestphysicochemicalparametersweredetermined adopting standardmethods.Dustingmethodwasadoptedin sampling themacro-benthicinvertebrates.
