    Notes: Processing variables affecting toasted wheat properties were studied. For maximum gelatinization of starch, substantial moisture, up to 60% of the weight of the dry wheat, must be infused into the whole kernel and equilibrated prior to the heat treatment. Moistening, tempering and toasting optima were established. Cold paste viscosities can be reduced by over-toasting, as well as under-toasting. Heating rates must maximize starch gelatinization before moisture is evaporated. Enzyme inactivation, which affects storage stability as well as viscosity values, was not complete in 20 set at 300°F (mass-avg kernel temp 275°F) but was complete in only 15 set at 400°F (tMA= 323°F). Toasting expands the kernel twofold or more and creates a porous endosperm structure which absorbs water readily. Several applications were tested, such as soup and sauce thickeners, breaders and cereals for domestic and foreign feeding programs.

    Notes: Samples collected monthly from the Swan Estuary between March 1978 and May 1979, together with environmental data for 1977 to 1980, have been used to elucidate various aspects of the reproductive biology of Amniataba caudavittata in this estuary. The gonads of A. caudavittala started to develop rapidly in the spring, when day length, water temperatures and salinities were increasing markedly. Spawning, which occurred mainly towards the top end of the upper estuary, was initiated in November, when water temperatures and salinities in that region were c. 24° C and 9‰, and it peaked in December/January when they were c. IT C and 17%○, Maturity is attained by at least the majority offish at the end of the second and each subsequent year of life. Although some of the larger 1-year-old fish attained maturity, this occurred in only one of the two tributary rivers, possibly reflecting differences in the salinity regimes in these rivers. Fecundities ranged from 50 000 in a 150-mm fish to 705 000 in a 254-mm fish, with a mean of 310 000. The mature, unfertilized eggs are small and spherical and have a diameter of 560 μm. The larvae are pelagic and characterized by an elongate body, which becomes moderately deep and laterally compressed during development, a short to moderate, tightly-coiled gut, a distinct gap between the anus and the origin of the anal fin and 25 or 26 myomeres. The development of fins and settlement of A. caudavittata larvae occurs at a smaller size than in the larvae of other terapontid species previously described. The success of A. caudavittata in the Swan Estuary can be attributed in part to its production of very large numbers of eggs at a time when, due to low fresh water discharge and a smait tidal range, conditions in the estuary are relatively stable. Comparisons between the biology of A. caudavittata and that of other abundant teleosts that spawn in south-western Australian estuaries show that these species exhibit a wide range of reproductive strategies.

    Notes: The variation in egg size present in the eggs of Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, was significant for the survival and growth of newly hatched alevins. Alevins from large eggs were larger, grew more quickly, and suffered less initial mortality than alevins from small eggs. The yolk sac was proportionately larger in alevins from large eggs. The largest eggs produced a relatively high proportion of abnormal alevins.

    Notes: SUMMARY. 1. Invertebrate drift was sampled at both a rockface and a deep pebble riffle site in streams draining both a clearcut and a forested catchment.2. A sampler was designed to separate the bottom 2 cm of flow, encompassing the effective range of caddisfly (Hydropsychidae: Trichoptera) catchnets. from upper flow.3. No significant difference in drift density (numbers per cubie metre) was seen between sites within each stream. However, numbers per square centimetre intake area per day at the rockface sites were 4 times higher in the clearcut and 10 times higher in the forested stream than at the pebble-riffle site.4. Rockface habitat which had highest drift availability was also the site of maximum secondary production of the predaceous collector- filterer Parapsyche cardis in both streams studied.5. Increased sediment load in the clearcut stream may influence the efficiency of utilization of invertebrate drift by collector-filterers.

    Notes: SUMMARY. 〈list xml:id="l1" style="custom"〉1 Production of chironomid communities of three first order, Appalachian Mountain streams was estimated and the effects of an insecticide-induced disturbance on chironomid production was examined.2 Annual production of non-Tanypodinae chironomids in the streams during the first study year (no treatment) ranged from 1366 to 3636 mg m−2, while production of Tanypodinae chironomids ranged from 48 to 116 mg m −2. Production/biomass ratios ranged between 19 and 23 for non-Tanypodinae and from 6 to 7 for Tanypodinae chironomids.3 Insecticide applications resulted in significantly lower chironomid densities and biomass in the treated stream relative to the pretreatment year and reference stream. Annual production of non-Tanypodinae (703 mg m−2) and Tanypodinae (32 mg m −2) chironomids in the treated stream decreased by 64% and 67%, respectively, compared with the pretreatment year. In contrast, production of non-Tanypodinae (2084 mg m−2) increased by 34% and production of Tanypodinae (96 mg m−2) by 57% in the reference stream.

    Notes: 1. Benthic macroinvertebrates were sampled for 1 year to assess functional and taxonomic differences in invertebrate biomass and production with respect to habitat types, reaches and catchments in Wine Spring Basin, western North Carolina. Quantitative samples were collected from depositional, cobble-riffle and bedrock outcrop habitats at four stream reaches (two headwater sites, one second order, and one third order). Other measures included physical parameters, periphyton and organic matter standing crops. Invertebrate data from the Wine Spring catchment were also compared with data from another catchment (Ball Creek) within the same region.2. The three habitat types had different current velocities and mean substratum particle sizes; both measures were greatest in bedrock outcrop habitats and lowest in depositional habitats. Organic matter standing crops, invertebrate functional group productivity and biomass also differed significantly with respect to habitat type. Cobble-riffle areas had the lowest standing crops of organic matter, invertebrate productivity and biomass.3. Both invertebrate communities and organic matter standing crops differed significantly between the two headwater reaches. First- to third-order reaches differed in taxonomic composition at the genus level, yet had similar relative functional group productivity and biomass.4. Annual mean invertebrate biomass and secondary production were greater in the Wine Spring Basin than in Ball Creek. Sites in both the Wine Spring and Ball Creek catchments, however, exhibited similar functional group distributions per habitat type.5. Local geomorphology and related physical parameters influenced the structure of invertebrate functional group composition, and the distribution of organic matter standing crops. Furthermore, comparison of community structure in Wine Spring with that in Ball Creek suggested that taxonomic composition was more related to catchment-specific parameters (e.g. thermal regime, evolutionary history) than stream size.

    Notes: SUMMARY. 1. The insecticide methoxychlor was applied seasonally to one of three small headwater streams in the southern Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina, U.S.A. The initial application caused massive invertebrate drift (〉1,000,000 organisms/week) and resulted in a community with few shredders and reduced abundances of most insect taxa.2. Bacterial densities and microbial respiration rates were not affected by treatment.3. Disruption of the invertebrate community resulted in significant reductions in leaf litter processing rates (50–74% reduction depending on leaf species) and in the amount of leaf litter processed annually (reduction of 25–28%).4. Reductions in leaf litter processing rates resulted in significant reductions in fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) export. Declines in both concentration and total export were detectable within 1 week of treatment. Annual FPOM export was reduced to 33% of pretreatment levels. Alteration to the invertebrate community had a much greater effect on FPOM export than a severe (50–200 year) drought.6. Course particulate organic matter (CPOM) export was not significantly influenced by treatment but was influenced by hydrologic differences among years.

    Notes: 1. A headwater stream (C54) was treated seasonally (twelve times from December 1985 to October 1988) with the insecticide methoxychlor for 3 years, resulting in 72 and 75% reductions of insect abundances and biomass, respectively. Following treatment, monthly benthic abundances and biomass were measured in the treated stream and a nearby reference stream (C55) in order to assess recovery. Seasonal average abundances and biomass were calculated from samples taken from December 1988—December 1989, the first post-treatment year of C54.2. Non-insect abundances and biomass were higher in the recovering stream during the winter + spring and summer periods, but were similar to the reference stream by autumn. Abundances and biomass of collector-filterers, scrapers, and shredders were all lower in the recovering stream during winter + spring; however filterers and scrapers were similar to reference stream values by the end of the recovery year. No distinct differences were seen between collector-gatherers and predators throughout the year.3. Univoltine and multivoltine taxa, along with treatment-resistant taxa, were the most important contributors to recovery of C54. Taxa with longer generation times, life histories which were more vulnerable to riming of treatments, and/or poor dispersal abilities were poorly represented during first-year recovery.4. Abundance data alone were not sufficient for a complete analysis of recovery. Biomass estimates reflected differences in taxonomic composition and developmental stages between streams after 1 year of recovery.

    Notes: SUMMARY. 1. Annual production was estimated for Trichoptera occurring in each of three distinct habitats of a mountain stream: bedrock-outcrops, riffles and pools. Production was greatest on bedrock-outcrops (2608 mg ash-free dry weight m−2), followed by riffles (1038) and pools (950).2. Annual production in bedrock-outcrops and pools was dominated by single functional groups, with collector-filterers and shredders contributing 73% and 75% of the annual production, respectively. Production in riffles was due primarily to shredders (46%), followed by collector-filterers (27%).3. Taking account of the amount of stream area occupied by each habitat type, total annual production was estimated at 1336 mg AFDW m−2. 53% of this production was attributable to four taxa: Parapsyche cardis Ross (25%), Pycnopsyche gentilis (MacLachlan) (10%), Neophylax mitchelli Carpenter (9%) and Rhyacophila nigrita Banks (9%).4. Habitat-weighted production was distributed among functional groups as follows: collector-filterers (41%), shredders (29%), engulfing-predators (15%), scrapers (13%) and collector-gatherers (2%).5. The distinct taxonomic and functional structures of trichopteran sub-communities were shaped by the distinct physical characteristics of their principal habitats. Bedrock-outcrops were characterized by low roughness and high current and were sites of low deposition or organic matter; thus the predominance of collector-filterers. In contrast, the other habitats of greater roughness (riffles) and/or lower current (pools) were sites of deposition of food (e.g. leaf litter) and greatest shredder production.6. By distinguishing discrete mesoscale habitats, each with a functionally distinct caddisfly sub-community, we speculate that small mountain streams provided the diverse physical templates essential for the evolution of the major feeding tactics (e.g. scraping, shredding, filter-feeding) of the. Trichoptera.

    Notes: SUMMARY 1. Mean annual density and biomass (B̄) of Cambarus bartonii in an Appalachian mountain stream (U.S.A.) was 12 individuals m−2 and 1669 mg (ash-free dry weight) m−2.2. Annual production (P) of C bartonii was 961 mg AFDW m−2. Despite high biomass, low growth rates resulted in low production and a low P/B̄ ratio of 0.58.3. While C bartonii constituted 61% of the total macroinvertebrate biomass, it contributed only 13% of annual community secondary production.4. Litter processing was positively related to temperature and crayfish size. Cambariis bartotnii was estimated to comminute 36 g m−2 y−1 of leaf litter (〉1 mm2) to 24 g m−〉2 y−1 fine particulate material (〈1 mm2). The annual pattern of litter comminution by crayfish was regulated by temperature. As a result, 〉5()% of shredding activity by crayfish occurred from June to September which was also the period of lowest litter standing crops and activity of other shredding macroinvertebrates.5. We speculate that during summer crayfish play an important role in temperate woodland streams by converting slowly processed leaf litter species (e.g. Rhododendron) to fine particles which are then available to collector-gatherers (e.g. Chironomidae, Oligochaeta).
