Macrobenthic communities in the Coeur d'Alene Lake system Item Info

Benthic invertebrates were sampled and identified from four depths in four areas of the Coeur d'Alene Lake system over a 7-month period. I identified 23 genera of chironomids. Oligochaetes were the most common taxa collected in Lake Chatcolet and Round Lake, which were nutrient enriched waters containing large macrophytic populations. Chironomids were the most common taxa in Lake Coeur d'Alene where aquatic vegetation and enrichment were less. Sixty percent of the organisms were found in samples from 2 m, but wide variation was observed.
