- Title

- Abstract
The article presents a study to determine the potential for nets to affect uptake of cadmium by Hydropsyche larvae. Researchers wanted to determine if an exposure route existed from net grazing behavior. Results of the study revealed that Hydropsyche larvae remained active in all treatments for the duration of the experiment and no gross differences in behavior were observed in any group. The larvae built net structures within the first 24 hours of placement in the housing system. The survival rates were 100% in all treatments where the Hydropysche were allowed to maintain their nets.
