  abstract = {{A} multivariate measure of river quality, the {I}ndex of {B}iotic {I}ntegrity ({IBI}), was adapted to a {W}est {A}frican river, the {K}onkoure ({R}epublic of {G}uinea). {F}ish assemblages were sampled using gill-nets during the dry season to provide data for the {IBI}. {T}en metrics were subsequently defined. {T}he capacity of the modified {IBI} to assess the impact of a bauxite treatment plant was tested. {T}he {IBI} decreased as expected at the impacted station. {D}etailed examination of the data revealed that one family, the #{M}ormyridae$, was almost eliminated from the impacted station, suggesting that members of this family can be considered as intolerant species in future uses of the {IBI} in other {A}frican rivers.
