Project Summary: The objectives of this research are to 1). Inventory the macroinvertebrate communities of different habitat conditions in the main stem Red River 2). Explore the temporal changes of these benthic communities through the open water season and 3). Compare the results of outcomes provided by different sampling techniques. The anticipated results will allow evaluation of potential relations between aquatic invertebrate communities and environmental conditions.
