Seasonal Changes in Structure and Salmon-Derived Biomass in the Macroinvertebrate Community of Kennedy Creek

Abstract

Honea will ask the question: What is the effect of salmon spawning on the seasonal changes in aquatic macroinvertebrates? He will describe a study that measured macroinvertebrate characteristics in the Kennedy Creek in Washington State. He will compare upstream areas (no salmon) with downstream areas (with salmon) and describe the seasonal changes in aquatic macroinvertebrates relative to salmon spawning.
