  • Establishment and Field Testing of a Rapid Bioassessment Screening of Rhode Island Freshwater Benthic Macroinvertebrates
    SDMS DOCID 283293 Establishment and Field Testing of a Rapid Bioassessment Screening of Rhode Island Freshwater Benthic Macroinvertebrates. Completion of a Research Project for Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management by Mark Gould College of Arts and Sciences Roger Williams University Bristol, RI 02809 December 1994 INTRODUCTION Previous studies by the author (Gould 1991, 1992, 1993) resulted in the enumeration of the freshwater macroinvertebrates in Rhode Island over a period of three years. These studies, along with the present study, provide a baseline for further studies and the documentation of freshwater macrofauna present within the state. The 1990 to 1991 sampling of the Rhode Island streams yielded significant information concerning the distribution of the macrofauna. The methodology provided a fast collection and data interpretation device once proper identification in the field was obtained. The 1991 to 1992 study confirmed the methodology, and began to develop trends within the macrofauna populations. The 1992 to 1993 study further refined the collection and analytical techniques and reports on longer term population structures within the streams of Rhode Island. In this study, the fourth year of data enumeration has resulted in an analysis of the data over the four year time frame to determine trends within the macroinvertebrate population. Stream invertebrates are well-adapted to their environment. Many species exist in the larval stage for a year or more; the adult often emerges for one or two days, mates, and dies. The survival of the species is dependent upon favorable environmental conditions in the water column. If conditions are not conducive at any time for the survival of a particular species, the stream will not support such a population.
