- Title
A QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF THE FAUNA OF SOME TYPES OF STREAM-BED.
- Authors
Percival, E.; Whitehead, H.
- Abstract
The article examines the faunistic ecology of streams. The structure of a fauna is investigated. Many of the organisms which have been considered as the almost entire source of food of fish, such as Limnaea peregra, Gammarus pulex and Ephemera spp., have been found to contribute either no part or very little part of the total fauna. The presence of peaty water is noticed especially during heavy rains. The foregoing account of the stream-bed indicates a general succession of conditions in passing down a stream.
