Biomass of the chironomid larvae (Chironomidae, Diptera) in Vaya Lake (Bulgaria) during the period 2003-2007

The biomass of chironomids in the Vaya Lake during the period 2003-2007 was studied. In the spring and summer of 2004, the biomass was estimated by the highest values, and in the spring and summer of 2006 – the lowest. The species with the greatest participation in the biomass were: Chironomus ri...

description The biomass of chironomids in the Vaya Lake during the period 2003-2007 was studied. In the spring and summer of 2004, the biomass was estimated by the highest values, and in the spring and summer of 2006 – the lowest. The species with the greatest participation in the biomass were: Chironomus riparius, Cryptochironomus defectus, Chironomus gr. plumosus, Cricotopus sylvestris, Tanytarsus gregarious and Cricotopus algarum. The stations along the central axis of the lake had the highest similarity. Dendrogram of chironomid biomass similarity showed high similarity (greater than 80%) for sites 3, 4 and 12.
