Brief Method Summary
|
This section is provided as an introduction to analyzing and interpreting aquatic macroinvertebrate sample results. The data collected by these protocols can be used for any of the analyses described below. Many different approaches have been used to prepare and analyze macroinvertebrate assemblage data. But they all start out with a list of macroinvertebrates that were collected, identified and counted. Depending upon your objectives, there are many other ways to examine macroinvertebrate assemblage data (such as ordination and other statistical tools) that are not presented in this document. The data analysis tools presented in this section those that are commonly used by State and Federal agencies to analyze and interpret macroinvertebrate data. |

Scope and Application
|
Refer to the sections of the protocol that describe how to analyze the benthic macroinvertebrate samples collected from wadeable streams in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Both field and laboratory methods are discussed. |
