1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />measurement used to quantify production at site locations. Biomass values were obtained <br />by drying the macroinvertebrates from each sample in an oven at 1000 C for 24-hours or <br />until all water content had evaporated. Biomass was reported as the mean dry weight of <br />macroinvertebrates per square meter at each site location. Biomass values provide <br />information regarding production in terms of weight of macroinvertebrates produced by <br />each habitat. Density and biomass provide a means of measuring and comparing <br />productivity at each sampling location. <br />The final measurement of macroinvertebrate community structure will be an analysis of <br />invertebrate functional feeding groups. Aquatic macroinvertebrates will be categorized <br />according to feeding strategy to determine the relative proportion of various groups. The <br />proportion of certain functional feeding groups in the macroinvertebrate community can <br />provide insight to various types of stress in river systems (Ward and Kondratieff 1992) <br />2001 Results <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In 2001, macroinvertebrate sampling and analyis was conducted for four sites in the <br />spring and five sites in the fall. An additional site was added for the Roaring Fork River <br />above the Fryingpan confluence in the fall. Analysis has been completed for two sites in <br />the spring. Analysis is continuing and the remaining two spring sites and the five fall <br />sites will be completed in the end of 2001 or beginning of 2002. Preliminary results of <br />macroinvertebrate sampling are presented in Table 4. Raw data and species lists are <br />provided in Appendix B. Interpretation of the results at the completed sites suggests that <br />these sites have excellent water quality and support a large number of <br />macroinvertebrates, however complete analysis of all sites will be conducted before <br />conclusions are made. <br />Draft 2001 Task Summary Report Page 18 <br />Miller Ecological Consultants, Inc.
