The present paper represents a study on benthic invertebrate communities from 9 sampling sites located in the Caraș River catchment area. The data were used to calculate different biotic indices and subsequently to assess the water quality in the area. The following biotic indices were considered: the Extended Biotic Index (E.B.I.), the Biological Monitoring Working Party (B.M.W.P.) and the Average Score Per Taxon (A.S.P.T.), already in use in different European countries. A total number of 75 taxa was found in three sampling seasons in 2012. The water quality from the Caraș River catchment area ranged from very good to moderate (classes I to III).
Keywords: A.S.P.T., B.M.W.P., diversity, E.B.I., similarity
