Adventure Learning (AL) on Lake Fernan MR. ANDERSON & MR. KNIGGE SUMMER 2014

Question: Does stream velocity affect macroinvertebrate quality?

Hypothesis:  If stream velocity is high, then macroinvertebrate quality will be high.

Procedure  GPS location of site tested  Measure stream velocity of three sites within our GPS location  High velocity  Medium velocity  Low Velocity  Using the ball and string method, we tested stream flow  Use kick net and shovel to collect macros at each flow site  Identified the quality of the macros collected from 3 flow sites based on tolerance for water quality

High Flow Rate--Riffle (1.13 m/s)

Medium Flow Rate– Run (0.6 m/s)

Low Flow Rate– Glide (0.02 m/s)

Collecting Our Data!

Results—Graph

Data Analysis  High Flow  Lots of HQ organisms and lots of LQ organisms  Medium Flow  Predominantly MQ organisms  Low flow  Mainly LQ organisms, but holistically few organisms

Conclusion  Our data supports our hypothesis  More HQ organisms were present in the high flow rate AND a larger population of organisms was discovered  As anticipated, the low flow rate site had fewer HQ organisms AND a smaller total population  In our hypothesis, we did not anticipate the large number of LQ organisms in the high flow rate site  Future Research/Question: In a high flow rate site, with lots of HQ macros would we see a trend in the number of LQ organisms?
