These worms are known for their ability to tolerate low oxygen levels and polluted environments, which has led to their use as indicator species for water quality assessments. Their presence in large numbers can indicate poor water quality, as they thrive in polluted or oxygen-deprived conditions.

In some cases, Tubifex worms are also used as live food for aquarium fish and as bait for fishing. However, due to their association with polluted environments, they are not typically considered a desirable food source for humans.
