Bloodworms are considered indicator species because their presence and abundance in aquatic environments can reveal important information about the health of those ecosystems. They thrive in environments with high organic pollution and low oxygen levels, making their population a sign of water quality issues. Conversely, a decline in bloodworm populations may indicate improvements in water quality or changes in habitat conditions. Therefore, monitoring bloodworm populations helps scientists assess ecological health and the effects of human activities on aquatic systems.
