Abstract:	This is a Kuparuk River bottom sample. The file simply lists the length of each insect measured, as well as when and where along the river it was captured. Only the actual measurements of the insects are listed, for example, if there wasn't a particular insect, found from a replicate at a station, then that station isn't listed either. This is captured baetis.

Methods:	A rock-scrubbing sampling technique was used to collect samples at six (seven stations for 1 Aug 89) different stations (-500m, -400m, -100m, 1000m, 1400m for 1 Aug, 2000m, and 3000m), with three replicates at each station for rock-scrubbings on two different dates. The same sampling procedure was used for both dates. The stations were measured relative to the future site of the new dripper. The samples were preserved in ethanol then picked, sorted, counted, and measured in Duluth using a digitizing pad. Sampling Description. None
