Interim report of the Savannah River macroinvertebrate and periphyton studies
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6880208
A total of 231,421 macroinvertebrates were collected from Hester Dendy multiplate samplers placed at five locations in the Savannah River and three tributary streams (Upper Three Runs Creek, Four Mile Creek and Steel Creek) between September 1982 and March 1983. Forty-nine taxonomic groups, including 41 insect families and 8 non-insect taxa were collected from the samplers. The creeks contained significantly fewer invertebrate taxa and lower densities of macroinvertebrates than did the river. More invertebrate taxa, but lower densities of organisms were collected from bottom Hester Dendy samplers than from those placed near the surface. No significant differences were found between the macroinvertebrate communities of samplers placed near the South Carolina or Georgia banks of the river. No substantive conclusions can be drawn from the first six months of periphyton data from sampling locations in the Savannah River. However, data from the creeks indicate that thermal discharges into Four Mile Creek stimulate periphyton production during the winter months. 17 references, 8 figures, 3 tables.
