Benthos typology of Spanish reservoirs.

Abstract:

This study of 79 Spanish reservoirs classifies them according to benthonic organisms with a special emphasis on Chironomidae. The typical European and American species characteristic of mesotrophic reservoirs, Stictochironomus rosenscholdi, is substituted. by S. maculipennis in Spanish reservoirs. Dominant reservoir forms are Tubificidae (Oligochaeta) representing 90% of total numbers and Chironomidae (Diptera) representing 9%. Only three Chironomidae genera are present in over 10% of reservoirs; Procladius (62%), Chironomus (48%), and Stictochironomus (29%). -from Selected Water Resources Abstracts
