Emergent insect sampling with light traps : upper Athabasca River, September, 1993 / by Mark Dunnigan.R71-49/3-35E

This report presents the results of a pilot study conducted to assess the feasibility of collecting adult aquatic insects from the Athabasca River for trace contaminant analyses. A primary objective was to evaluate the use and effectiveness of light trapping adult aquatic insects as compared to the collection of immature forms as a biomonitoring tool. The second objective of this project was to obtain tissue samples of immature aquatic insects and winged adults for organic contaminant (e.g., dioxins, furans, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons) and stable isotope (e.g., carbon and nitrogen) analyses.--Report summary
