In order
to collect the macroinvertebrates, we had three people scrape
ten rocks (larger than a large fist) into a bucket,
thereby collecting all the flora and fauna existing on the rock in a small
site of the bed of Crum Creek. A kick
net was angled against the bottom of the creek so as to collect
anything that floated downstream. The contents of the bucket
were then filtered with the same kick net. The final phase
was to examine the net on firm ground for macroinvertebrate inhabitants
of our sample site.
