Glossary: whitewater

In ichthyological and aquarium literature typically refers to habitats with turbid water containing material in suspension and often rich in nutrients and dissolved ions, thus differing from clearwater or blackwater environments.

Not to be confused with the term ‘white water’ which refers to turbulent water typically formed in rapids.
