                               ABSTRACT
     Macroinvertebrate populations were sampled at fourteen Ohio River
and tributary stations over a five year period, 1963-1967.   Selected
physical and chemical surveillance data were related to biological
quality.  Ohio River stations included; Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania, Toronto,
Marietta and Addison, Ohio, Huntington, West Virginia,  Cincinnati,  Ohio,
Louisville, Kentucky, Evansville, Indiana and Cairo, Illinois.
Tributary stations were located in the lower reaches of the Allegheny,
Monongahela, Kanawha and Wabash Rivers.  Distinct differences  in the
abundance and diversity of macroinvertebrates were observed.   Pollution,
primarily from industrial sources, greatly reduced the  numbers  and  kinds
of macroinvertebrates in the Allegheny, Monongahela, upper  Ohio and lower
Kanawha rivers.  Larger and more diverse populations existed in the middle
and lower reaches of the Ohio River.   The faunal composition in the lower
Ohio River and Wabash River indicated enriched waters.   Population
characteristics and trends in cyclic periods of abundance of certain species
at the stations were found to be of utmost importance in evaluating effects
of pollution on macroinvertebrates.

                                  FOREWORD
     A sampling program for macroinvertebrates was initiated in 1962 by
the National Water Quality Network, Division of Water Supply and Pollution
Control, Public Health Service as part of a national surveillance effort.
This program was designed to supplement other information collected on
water quality characteristics, such as physical, chemical, bacteriological,
plankton, organics, trace elements and radioactivity.  Unlike data gathered
on these latter parameters, macroinvertebrate data were not placed in the
Storage and Retrieval System (STORE!), Washington, D.C.

     This report summarizes macroinvertebrate data on the Ohio River and
selected tributaries during the five year period, 1963-1967.  Population
characteristics and changes in the community composition are evaluated
relative to general water quality.

     Initially, several standard sampling methods were employed, including
bottom dredges and trawls.  Collections from these devices usually contained
few organisms and little diversity and therefore, other means were sought
which would provide a more varied fauna.   A rock-filled artificial substrate
sampler (basket sampler) was developed which proved to be effective for
sampling macroinvertebrates in large rivers.  Both dredges and baskets were
utilized for monitoring macroinvertebrate communities.

     Macroinvertebrate studies have continued as part of the water quality
surveillance of the Ohio River Basin.   Reports for succeeding years will be
issued as data are evaluated.

                                INTRODUCTION
     Major contributions to our knowledge of aquatic life in large rivers
of North America are few.  A main reason for the lack of detailed studies
is the difficulty encountered in obtaining meaningful information on the
communities sampled.  Large rivers are formidable due to variable current,
substrates and a host of physical factors that complicate both the collection
of representative organisms and the quantitative determination of their
abundance and distribution.

     Information obtained on the aquatic life resources of the main stem
Ohio River includes plankton and fisheries data collected by the U. S.
Public Health Service during a survey of the Ohio River (1942) and the  Ohio
River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) (1962).   The ORSANCO
report consists mainly of a study of the Ohio River fisheries resources and
includes a study of macroinvertebrates in the Louisville, Ky. vicinity.  The
Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology, University of Pittsburgh publication,
"Studies on the Aquatic Ecology of the Upper Ohio River System" (1965)  presents
detailed information on several aspects of limnology of the upper Ohio  River
including fish and algae, but macroinvertebrates are not considered.

     The purpose of this study was to gather basic information on the existing
bottom fauna and through continuing studies to observe changes from year to
year due to the water quality.  Stations were selected upstream from the major
cities so that characteristics of the bottom fauna would reflect general
environmental conditions rather than specific sources of municipal or in-
dustrial pollution.  This also applied to the considerable amount of chemical
and physical data obtained at these stations.

     This report summarizes data on the macroinvertebrate communities obtained
by dredge and artificial substrate samples collected at the following stations
during a five year period, 1963-1967; Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa., Toronto
and Addison, Ohio,  Huntington, W. Va., Cincinnati, Ohio, Louisville, Ky.,
Evansville,  Ind., and Cairo, 111.  A station was added at Marietta, Ohio (mid-
way between Toronto and Addison) in 1966.  Tributaries sampled include;
Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh,  the Kanawha River at London
and Winfield Dams,  W. Va., and the Wabash River at New Harmony, Ind. (Figure 1).

     The macroinvertebrate communities sampled were exposed to basically four
types of pollution; toxic, mild organic, moderate organic and heavy organic.

Toxic Pollution - Substances entering a water system which poisons aquatic
life.  Acute toxicity usually produces injury or death to organisms within
a relatively short  time (24-96 hrs.).  Chronic toxicity acts over a longer
period of time in limiting the fauna.  A benthic fauna affected by toxicity
usually exhibits little diversity and is unbalanced.   Acid mine drainage is
included in this category.

Organic Pollution

     Mild Organic Pollution - Organic substances which may have little or
     no toxic effect on the organisms but present in sufficient quantities
     to stimulate productivity.  A benthic community stimulated by mild
     organic pollution may be composed predominatly of pollution-sensitive
     and facultative organisms.  Some pollution-tolerant species may be
     present but not in large numbers.

     Moderate Organic Pollution - Organic substances entering a water-system
     in sufficient quantities to greatly stimulate productivity of
     facultative organisms.  Some pollution-sensitive kinds may be present
     and pollution-tolerant kinds are prevalent but not dominant.

     Heavy (Gross) Organic Pollution - Organic substances entering a water
     system in great quantities sufficient to largely alter the aquatic
     environment.  Pollution-tolerant organisms pervade the bottom
     sediments.  Severe organic pollution may eliminate even the most
     tolerant of organisms.

     Adverse effects of toxic, organic and other types of pollution on the
bottom fauna were minimal at most stations since sampling was conducted
immediately upstream from major cities and industrial sites.

     Macroinvertebrates generally are assigned to three broad categories
based on their sensitivity to pollution; pollution-sensitive, facultative
and pollution-tolerant.  The faunal list under the respective categories  in
the Appendix is an attempt to identify certain Ohio River Basin macroinver-
tebrates with the type of environment they most often frequent.

                        GENEML TOPOGRAPHY & GEOLOGY
                          OF THE OHIO RIVER BASIN
     The Ohio River is formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and
Monogahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and flows southwesterly for
981 miles until it joins the Mississippi River at Cairo, Illinois.   Three
major physical divisions characterize the Ohio Basin.   Rough hills  and
mountains of the Appalachian Highlands prevail in the  east, as the  river
remains in the Appalachian Plateau for about one third of its length.   The
area west of the Appalachian Plateau and north of the  Ohio River is composed
mainly of the glaciated area of the Interior Plains (an area of gently
sloping lowlands).  Finally, to the south and west, the river basin is
composed predominately of the low hills of the interior plateaus and is
entirely unglaciated.

     Most of the geological formations in the Ohio River Basin belong to
the Paleozoic group, with limestone and shale being the common bedrocks.
Formations in a small part of the area near the mouth  of the Ohio River
belong to the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era.   The coal bearing
formations of the Pennsylvania period occur in the eastern part of the basin
and to a lesser extent in the western portion in Illinois, Indiana, and
Kentucky.

     The northern section of the watershed is overlain with glacial drift,
resulting in the deep and fertile soils in the western portion of the basin.
In the Appalachian highlands the soil is light and sandy, while in  the south
central region it is alluvial, consisting of a mixture of rich loam and clay.

     The bottom substrate of the Ohio River is mainly  sand and gravel or clay
overlain with silt and/or organic detritus.  Each section of the river has
various combinations of these bottom types.  In the upper Ohio River, many
bottom deposits are covered by an oily muck with small coal particles inter-
spersed with sand and gravel.  The middle Ohio River bottom substrate is
predominately a pasty clay overlain with sand, rubble, or fine leaf detritus.
The bottom of the lower section of the river (below Louisville) is  mud over-
lain with different grades of sand and leaf detritus.
                                       -4-

                                 METHODS
     In  1963-64, the primary sampling devices used were 100 sq. in. Petersen
and 36 sq. in. Ekman dredges.  The samples provided valuable baseline data,
a knowledge of bottom types, and some information on macroinvertebrate
distribution.  However, few aquatic insect larvae were collected in the
dredgings, so, in 1964 a rock-filled artificial substrate was designed and
constructed for the purpose of collecting a greater diversity of fauna.  The
primary  advantage of the artificial substrate is the control of some physical
factors  which is necessary for collecting a variety of stream invertebrates.

     The original construction of the rock-filled sampler was cubical in
shape (Henson, 1965).  The original hand-made, cubical frame type was re-
placed by a cylindrical barbecue basket  (Figures 2 § 3) measuring seven
inches in diameter and 11 inches in length which was more corrosion resistant
and could be purchased (Mason, et al. 1967, and Anderson and Mason, 1968).  It
was filled with approximately 30, two-inch minimum and three-inch maximum
diameter limestone rocks weighing about 17 Ibs.   The sampler was suspended
by 1/8 - inch steel wire cable for a six-weeks'  sampling period at a depth of
five feet from the water's surface.  The cable was passed through the lon-
gitudinal axis of the sampler and secured with a Nicopress^ sleeve.

     In most cases the baskets were maintained at a constant depth of 5 feet
from the water's surface by supporting them with polyurethane-filled five
gallon can floats or by suspending them from floating boat docks.  Baskets
were also attached to the outer upstream guardwall of locks where the water
level fluctuated only slightly.


     At  the time of collection the baskets were carefully brought to the
surface to avoid dislodging organisms from the sampler.   The rocks were
emptied  into a tub partially filled with water and each rock brushed to
remove organisms.  The organisms were separated from the water and sediment
with a U.S. Standard No.  30 sieve (0.59 mm mesh openings), transferred to
collecting jars, and preserved in a 70% ethanol  with 200 mg/1 rose bengal
stain.   During transportation to the laboratory the animal tissue stains red
which facilitates sorting (Mason § Yevich, 1967).  Macroinvertebrates collected
from baskets were recorded as numbers/sampler.  Tests were conducted at
 RB 100 Tumble Basket manufactured by the Hewitt Home Products Company,

 2911 Chicken Basket, can be obtained from Androck, Inc., 28 Union St.,

 Louisville  in  1967  and Cincinnati in 1968 to determine if organisms were
 lost  during retrieval.  Nets and buckets with screened openings were held
 around the  samplers, but no significant loss was noted.

      All of the dredge samples were strained through a U.S. Standard No. 30
 sieve and the  separated organisms preserved in 70% ethanol and rose bengal
 stain.  In  the laboratory the organisms were rinsed in a U.S. Standard No. 40
 sieve and sorted by hand under low magnification, identified, and counted.
 No  less than three replicate dredgings were taken to calculate numbers/sq. ft.

      The same  level of identification for each major taxonomic category was
 uniform throughout the study.  For example, most insect larvae were identified
 to  genus and species, whereas worms were differentiated as oligochaetes,
 flatworms and nematodes.  The relative proportion of pollution-sensitive,
 facultative and pollution-tolerant taxa to the total macroinvertebrate
 community,  and physical and chemical data were considered in evaluating water
 quality at  the respective stations.

     The Ohio river mileage numbering system begins with zero at the con-
 fluence of  the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
 The river banks were designated right and left facing upstream.

     Table  I shows the intensity of sampling at 14 stations in the Ohio River
 Basin.  During 1963, a total of 234 dredge samples were collected.  In 1964
 sampling was restricted to Cincinnati,  Ohio, Louisville, Kentucky and Cairo,
 Illinois.  However, from 1965 through 1967 a dredge series was collected at
 most stations.   A total of 58 artificial substrate samples was collected in
 1965, 45 in 1966,  and 39 in 1967.   Dredge sampling during the latter two
 years consisted of three replicates near both banks during one trip in August
 or September.

     Unless otherwise stated the physical and chemical data in Tables III and
 IV were recorded as follows:  Flow, daily readings in cubic feet per seconds
 (cfs); temperature, daily readings in degrees centigrade (°C) between 6:00
 AM and 12:00 PM;  dissolved oxygen (DO),  total alkalinity (Alk.), total
 dissolved solids  (TDS) expressed in mg/1,  turbidity units and pH were recorded
weekly.   Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) values were recorded for some stations,

                               DISCUSSION


ALLEGHENY RIVER - PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA (MILE 8.0)

     Sampling at the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Allegheny River station was
initiated in the spring of 1963 with a series of Ekman dredge samples taken
just upriver from the Aspenwall water intake tower.  Another series of six
dredgings was collected from the same location in August and again in
November.  No bottom samples were obtained in 1964.  In 1965 both basket and
dredge samples were collected.  Due to vandalism and the problem of main-
taining the sampler at the water intake structure, the sampling location was
moved to Lock and Dam #2 in 1966.  Basket samples were collected in June and
August and a dredge series in August.  Basket samples were collected during
three different sampling periods in 1967 (Figure 4).

     The bottom near the left (north) bank was mostly sand and gravel, gravel
and cobble at midstream, and muck on the right (south) bank.  Bits of leaves
and coal fines were present in most samples.

     Table III (Appendix A-51) shows that during the  summer months the minimum
DO value recorded was 6.6 mg/1 in 1966 and the mean monthly value (3 months)
was 7.3 mg/1.  A pH of 5.0 was recorded in August, 1966 and the mean pH over
the five year period during summer was 6.8.  The maximum temperature in July,
1966 was 31°C and the mean temperature declined approximately 5°C from July
to September (weekly readings).

     Over the five years, the yearly mean DO values usually were above 10 mg/1,
the maximum 14.9 mg/1, and the minimum value of 6.6 mg/1 in 1966 (Table IV,
Appendix A-55)).  The pH averaged 6.8, but a low of 3.7 was reported in 1962.
The water temperature ranged between a minimum of 0°C and a maximum of 31.7°C.
The mean 5-day BOD was 1.4 mg/1 and the maximum BOD recorded was 2.4 mg/1 in
March, 1963 (Sources of data:  STORET and USPHS-WPSS  Annual Compilation of Data)

     The benthic fauna collected by dredge consisted mostly of pollution-
tolerant bloodworms, Chironomus ripariuSj Proaladius  sp., and tubificid worms.
A few facultative caddisfly larvae Cyrmellus fraternns and mayflies Stenonema
occurred in the baskets.  Of the seven species of midges collected from the
baskets, Psectroeladius and Parachironomus aboTti-Vus? accounted for over half
of the individuals.

     The majority of species collected from the Allegheny River at Pittsburgh
are tolerant to a wide range of environmental factors.  The physical and
chemical measurements suggest that the water should support a larger benthic
fauna than was present.  The meager number of individuals and almost complete
absence of mayflies  and certain midges suggest that the benthic fauna in the
lower reach of the Allegheny River was subjected to toxicity.

MONONGAHELA RIVER - PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA (MILE 4.5-11.5)

     The upper reach and tributaries of the Monongahela River received acid
mine drainage and the lower reach transported industrial wastes.  Oil and
tar-like deposits covered the bottom in the lower reach.  As many as six
industrial outfalls were observed in 300 yds of river.  The water was so
corrosive that chromium-plated baskets deteriorated in six weeks, whereas
baskets in the middle reach of the Ohio River lasted for nine months.

     Chemical data for the Monongahela River is very limited.  One DO value
recorded in September, 1963 was 0.0 mg/1 (Table III, Appendix A-45).  Maximum
temperatures of 32°C were recorded in July, 1963, 1965, and September, 1964,
and 32.8°C in August, 1966.  Many macroinvertebrates are adversly affected
by sustained temperatures over 30°C and most insect larvae will not undergo
moulting to pupal and adult stages at higher temperatures.  Low pH also
severely limits macroinvertebrate life.  Values under 5.0 frequently were
recorded.

     Benthic sampling in 1963 consisted of two series of Petersen dredge
samples collected in May and November near Beck's Run.  Only one sample in
the series contained organisms (a few worms).   The 1965 and 1966 dredge
samples also were void of organisms except for worms.  Two artificial sub-
strate basket samples were obtained in 1965 at Beck's Run, South Pittsburgh
water intake (Figure 5).   The combined fauna included one midge, one
caddisfly and thousands of worms.   In 1966, four samples were collected from
basket samplers at Lock and Dam #2 (river mile 11.5, Braddock,  Pennsylvania).
Most of the organisms were coated with iron deposits.  All of the 1966
collections from basket samplers at the Lock and Dam contained  damselflies,
either Enallagma or Ischnura.   Five species of midges were also collected,
the most common; Cricotopus bioinctus gr. , C.  exilis gr. , C.  trifasoiatus gr. ,
and Polypedilwn ophioides?  These midges generally are tolerant of polluted
waters and low pH (Paine and Gaufin, 1956; and Curry, 1965).  The 1967 dredge
samples contained not more than four taxa including the bloodworm Chironomus
ripapius} the sewage fly Psyohoda^  the dragonfly nymph Plathemia and worms.
Industrial and acid mine drainage pollution eliminated most benthic organisms
from the lower reach of the Monongahela River.

OHIO RIVER - PITTSBURGH  (MILE 6.2-9.2)
     Bottom sampling in the Ohio River near Pittsburgh was initiated in
November, 1963 with two Petersen dredge samples collected at the upstream
end of Davis Island, 4.5 miles downstream from the confluence of the
Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers.

     In 1963 Petersen dredge samples were collected in late September at
mile 9.2 at Lock and Dam #2 near the bank.  The artificial substrate samplers
were located at mile 9.2 near the University of Pittsburgh Public Health
Research Laboratory on Neville Island.  In 1966 the basket sampler was moved
upstream to the Emsworth Lock and Dam (mile 6.2).  Three samples were collected
from the sampler during the summer at six-week intervals (Figure 6).   A series
of six Petersen dredge samples was taken at the downstream end of Neville
Island.

     During an ORSANCO (1962) survey July 25, 1959 a DO of 1.7 mg/1 was
recorded at Neville Island.  There are no records of chemical and physical
data for this station for 1963.  In 1965, the minimum DO recorded at Neville
Island was 5.2 mg/1, in September (Table III) the minimum pH was 4.0 in 1965
and 5.5 in 1966 (Table IV).

     The bottom muck and water were oily.  Tubificid worms comprised about
90% of the macroinvertebrate fauna in the dredge samples (Figure 7).   Also
occurring regularly was the phantom midge, Chaoborus sp.

     Pollution-tolerant worms and Turbellaria comprised over 75% of the artificial
substrate fauna in 1965 (Figure 8).   As was the case in the Allegheny River, the
dredge and basket samples were composed predominately of worms and midges.  The
most abundant midges were;  Parachironoimf; abort'lvus,  and Cricotopus spp.
Leeches and the amphipod Crangonyx pseudograoilis were present in the 1967
artificial substrate samples and oligochaetes averaged 6,000/basket.   Figure 9
shows that the number of taxa collected in 1967 was greater than in 1965 or
1966.  The increase was due mainly to greater diversity of midges (See
Appendix A-12).

     There were more taxa collected at Neville Island than at the Monongahela
River station but fewer than were collected at the Allegheny River station.  The
scarce benthic population at mile 9.2 and 6.2 indicates that the pollution
originating in and upstream from Pittsburgh on the Allegheny and Monongahela
Rivers prevented the growth  of a diverse benthic fauna.

OHIO RIVER - TORONTO, OHIO (MILE 57.5)

     Petersen dredge samples were collected both during the summer and
winter of 1963.  Two baskets were collected in 1965 and three each in
1966 and 1967 at the Edison power plant (Figure 10).  In August, 1966
a series of six dredge samples was taken just downstream from the power plant
(left bank).  The bottom on both sides of the river consists of coarse sand
and leaf detritus, and clay and sand at midstream.

     The mean summer temperature at Toronto was approximately 26°C during
1963 and 1964  (Table III).  However, a maximum of 29.0°C was recorded during
the summer of 1966 (Table IV).  A maximum pH of 7.6 occurred in 1967 and
the minimum value recorded was 4.0 in 1964 and 1967.  The mean turbidity was
approximately 30 turbidity units.  No DO data were available for Toronto.  The
mean flow was approximately 6,000 cfs during the summers of 1963-64, but was
only 4,400 cfs in 1966.

     Organic detritus in the Toronto dredge samples was coated with a black
tar-like substance and coal fines.  Rocks in the basket samplers also were
covered with these deposits.

     The most abundant organisms in the dredge samples were pollution-tolerant
oligochaetes and midges.  Representative midges were;  Chironomus riparius gr.,
Dicrotendipes incurvus gr. , and Prooladius sp. , the latter being most abundant.

     The artificial substrates yielded only a few Cyrmellus fraternus caddis-
flies in 1966; oligochaetes (Nais communis and Dero sp.); and the midges
PsectTocladlus sp., Cr*icotopus spp., and Dicrotendipes sp. were common.  A few
crayfish Ovaoneates propinquus and amphipod Crangonyx were collected.  No
pollution-sensitive stoneflies or mayflies were recorded in any sample.

     The number of oligochaetes were fewer by 30% as compared to the Pittsburgh
station 50 miles upstream (Figure 11).  However, oligochaetes still comprised
63% of the macroinvertebrates collected at the station.  The average number of
individuals/basket sampler increased from nine in 1965 to approximately 280
in 1966 (mostly worms and midges).  The total taxa increased from 7 in 1965 to
19 in 1966 and 15 in 1967.  Inspection of the data  (Appendix A-14) reveals that
the 1965 collections were taken late in the year after peak insect emergences
which undoubtedly accounted for the sparse collections.

     The greater diversity at Toronto as compared with samples from the
Pittsburgh vicinity indicated general improvement of water quality as related
to the benthic fauna.  However, over a period of years wastes accumulated on
the bottom  substrate  permitted only the more tolerant organisms to survive.

OHIO RIVER - MARIETTA, OHIO (MILE 167.5)

     Basket samplers were installed in late April of 1966 on the outer guard
wall of Lock and Dam #17, left bank.  This location is about four miles up-
stream from the city of Marietta, Ohio.  The general topography is flat,
although there are a few low, rolling hills present on the Ohio side.  Both
banks are very sandy and heavily wooded.  The region is unglaciated and is
underlain by limestone and shale.

     Chemical and physical data were not available for this reach of the
river.

     Three 1966 basket collections at this station were rather unusual in
that 75% of the fauna collected were Turbellaria (Figure 11).  The flatworms,
as a group, are tolerant of organic pollution but it cannot be assumed that
their presence necessarily indicates man-made pollution and may reflect the
occurrence of allochthonous organic matter such as decaying leaves.  The most
numerous macroinvertebrates; caddisfly larva Cyrnellus fratemus, the midges
Abldbesmyia phamphe, Pseotrocladius sp., Diarotendipes nervosus occurring at
Marietta are facultative and can be found living in a wide range of environ-
mental conditions.  However, some taxa present Chironomus riparius gr. ,
Glyptotendipes amplus? and the snail Phi/so, are pollution-tolerant and are
favored by organic enrichment.  Pollution-tolerant organisms, however, were not
abundant.

     Mayflies were not present in any samples from the Pittsburgh vicinity of
the Ohio River and Marietta, Ohio during the course of the study.

     Bottom organisms in August, 1967 consisted of nematodes, caddis flies,
oligochaetes, midges and asiatic clams.  This was the farthest upstream
collection of the asiatic clam Corbicula.  The neuropteran Sial-is, dragonfly
Gomphus vastus, and Cyrnellus fraternus caddisfly averaged less than one/sq.
ft.

     Figure 12 shows that a more diverse fauna was present in the October,
1967 basket than in previous collections.  In 1967 chironomid larvae accounted
for nearly one-half of the total variety (26 taxa) and well over half of the
total individuals.  The predominant species were Psectvocladius sp., Ablabes-
myia mallochi,, A.  rhamphe and Glyptotendipes amplus?  Otherwise the species
composition was similar to that of the 1966 baskets.

     The total number of taxa at Marietta in 1966 was slightly greater than
the number found at the upstream location at Toronto, Ohio although there were
fewer individuals per sample.  Improvement in water quality, if any, was slight
between the Toronto and Marietta stations and the presence of many facultative
and pollution-tolerant taxa is indicative of moderate organic enrichment.

OHIO RIVER - ADDISON, OHIO  (MILE 260.0)

     Dredge samples were collected near the Kyger Creek power plant in
May, July, and November, 1963, July, 1965 and 1966 and August, 1967.  Basket
samplers were serviced in September and November, 1965, 1966, and August
and October, 1967 (Figure 13).  Basket-float units were used at the station
because of water level fluctuations and were attached to wooden pilings
directly across from the hydroelectric plant on the right bank.

     Physical data (Tables  III and IV) show the mean temperature was 26°C in
July and August but dropped to 23°C by September.  The mean DO during the
summer was approximately 6.0 mg/1 and the minimum value recorded was 4.8 mg/1
in September, 1964.   The mean pH was 7.2.  The maximum TDS value each year
was consistently higher than for the other stations.

     Chaoborus punctipenn-is, a facultative dipterous  species, was collected
at Addison. Oligochaetes, mainly Tubificidae, were the most abundant
organisms in the 1963, 1966, and 1967 dredge samples  averaging 100/sq. ft.
Larval midges consistently collected in the dredge samples were carnivorous;
Proaladius sp., Coelotanypus sp., and Cryptochironomus digitatus gr.  Many
individuals had partially consumed worms in their mouths.

     The most abundant macroinvertebrates collected by artificial substrate
were facultative Chironomidae; Ablabesmyia vharnphe,  Psectroaladius sp., and
Di-orotendipes nervosus.   Stenonema mayfly nymphs were collected in the
September, 1965 and October, 1967 baskets, the farthest upstream record for
mayflies during the  study.   Also occurring were; the  damselfly Argia,  caddisfly
Cynellus fraternws  and coelenterate Copdylophora laaustris.   Except for the
presence of mayflies,  the faunal composition at Addison was similar to that
at Marietta.   The limited sampling at Marietta only during 1966-67 does not
allow detailed comparisons  between the two stations.

     The size and diversity of the Addison fauna appears to be restricted
compared to communities  downstream.  The scarcity of pollution-sensitive may-
flies, caddis flies,  and  complete absence of stoneflies even during winter
suggest  that upstream sources of toxic substances exerted a subtle
limiting effect on the populations.  The abundance of facultative taxa, like
the fauna at Marietta, suggests the presence of organic matter.

 OHIO  RIVER  - HUNTINGTON, WEST  VIRGINIA  (MILE  301.4)

      In  1963,  twenty-two dredge  samples were  taken  in  the  vicinity  of the
 Huntington  municipal water intake near both banks and  at mid-river.   No
 sampling was conducted  in 1964,  but  a series  was collected in  1966  and 1967.
 Basket samplers were installed on a  concrete  pier of old Lock  #27 and three,
 six-week collections were taken  in 1965.   In  1966 and  1967 the  artificial
 substrates  were collected at the Glenbrier Yacht Club  floating  dock  one-half
 mile  upstream  from old  Lock #27,right bank.   The exposure  periods and dates
 of  installation were dissimilar  during the three years  (Figure  14).

      The yearly mean DO values for 1963-65 and August,  1963^ and 1965  values were
 lower than  at  the other main stem Ohio River  stations  (Figures  15 and 16).

      The Kanawha River  (discussed in detail later)  transports municipal,
 industrial  and other wastes and  enters the Ohio River  approximately  35 miles
 upstream from Huntington.

      The most abundant  benthic organisms collected by  dredge were pollution-
 tolerant and facultative oligochaetes and  midge larvae  as  was the case at
 most  of  the stations upriver.  However, in contrast to  the populations up-
 stream, ,the numbers were more  equally distributed within the taxa represented.
 Insect larvae of facultative and pollution-sensitive mayflies,  caddisflies,
 and certain midges were present  in some dredge samples  (Figure  7).  The
 dominant midges in the  dredgings were; Tanypodinae  (Coelotanypus3 Procladius,
 and Abldbesmyia), Crypto ch-ironomits digitatus  gr., and Polypedilvan halterale.
 A diverse molluscan fauna included the snails Gyraulus, Somatogyrus,  and
 Campeloma,   and the clams Corbioula,  Anadonta, and Leptodea.

      The basket samples contained a more diverse fauna  than  at  the stations
 upstream (Figure 9) and a considerably  greater number  of  individuals
 (Figure  8).   Oligochaetes were almost entirely lacking  in  the samples.  The
 most  abundant organisms were caddisflies (mostly Cymellus fratemus)  and
 midge larvae (D-iorotendipes nervosus and Ablabesrrryia r>hamphe).   In addition,
 the mayfly Stenonema (3 spp.), the damselfly Argi,a, mollusks, and the  coe-
 lenterate Cordylophora were commonly found in the baskets.   Fifteen taxa
were  recorded in the 1965 basket collections, 21 in 1966,  and 25 in  1967.
The stonefly Acroneuz"ia arida,  and several mayflies includingCaenis, Tricory-
 thodes and Stenonema spp.  were present in  the July,1967 sample.  Stoneflies
 and mayflies, as groups, generally are considered pollution-sensitive.  How-
 ever, the taxa mentioned above are tolerant to a wide range  of  environmental
 conditions  and inhabit water with organic  enrichment if sufficient dissolved
 oxygen is available.

     The macroinvertebrate fauna at  Huntington appeared to be stimulated by
moderate organic pollution from  upstream,presumably from the Kanawha River,
 and the  overall effect was to increase  the  abundance and diversity of beritnic
 fauna compared with upstream stations.

OHIO RIVER - CINCINNATI, OHIO (MILE 462.8)

     In May, 1963 two series of six Petersen dredge samples were collected
at midstream and near the right bank at the Cincinnati Water Works intake.
In August, 1963 and 1964 other series were collected near the right shore
and at midstream.  Dredge sampling in 1965, 1966 and 1967 consisted of
series taken one-half mile .unstream from the water intake.

     In 1965, five basket samples were collected in June, July, August,
October and November.  These samples provided extremely valuable information
on periods of abundance of various species occurring at Cincinnati.  In
1966, five samples were collected in four months; July, September, October
and November and in 1967 three samples were collected in July, September and
October.

     The monthly mean summer water temperature at Cincinnati during 1963-67 was
approximately 26°C and the maximum temperature recorded was 29.4°C in
August, 1964.  The mean pH was 7.3, and  DO values ranged from a low of 2.6
mg/1 in August, 1963 to a high of 8.4 mg/1 in August, 1966.  However, the
mean monthly DO averaged 6.5 mg/1 during the summer months (Table III).

     Dredge samples collected during the five-year period from the sand and
gravel bottom contained mostly midge larvae numbering 5 to 22/sq. ft.
ProcladiuSj Coelotanypus , Cryptochironomus, and Polyped-ilwn spp. were the
most numerous.   The bloodworm Chivonomus attenuates occurred sparingly in
the 1963, 1964, and 1966 dredgings.  Oligochaetes, mostly Naididae, numbered
16 to 196/sq. ft.

     The distribution of clams in the Cincinnati reach of the river was most
interesting.  In 1962 exploratory dredge series in mid-channel contained 56
Copbioula/sq. ft.  Sampling the same bottom in 1963 revealed mostly broken shells;
few of the clams of the 1962 population were alive.  Dredge samples near the
right bank from 1964 to 1967 also contained few CorbicuZa.  Reasons for the
demise of the population probably relate  to the extremely cold winter of 1962-63
and change in river habitat due to operation of the newly constructed Markland
Lock and Dam at Warsaw, Kentucky.

     On May 16, 1967, a barge broke loose and lodged in the gate at Markland
Dam, requiring lowering of the river stage in the Cincinnati pool.  Prior to
this date the river level had not stabilized due to spring rains.  The left
bank (north) at each of two locations upstream and three downstream from
Cincinnati was  walked for one-quarter mile.  The exposed 10 ft. of bank up-
stream from Cincinnati revealed 10 species of live clams and shells of 4 other
species.  (Table II).  Two species of live clams were present six miles below
Mill Creek, which transports a heavy organic and industrial load from the
City of Cincinnati.  Clams were not found 10 miles below Mill Creek.  Three
species of live clams were found 1.5 miles further downstream.  Very few of
the species visually observed were collected by the use of dredges during the
study.

     The basket collections were characterized by a large number of
facultative midges; Diorotendlpes nervosns, Psectrooladius, and Abldbesmyia
rhamphe.  The caddisflies Cyrnellus fratemus, Eydroptila, Leptocella, and
Chewnatopsyche also were recorded.  Common mayflies were; Stenonema inter-
punGtatwn, S. integriMn Caen-is, and Tricorythodes.  The stonefly Taeni-op-
teryx nival-is was found only in November samples.  This is the normal period
of growth and activity for Taenioptevyx as indicated by Prison (1935).
Other stoneflies were recorded mostly in late fall and early winter at
several other Ohio River basin stations.

     The damselfly Apg-ia apicalis occurred regularly in the baskets.  How-
ever, odonates are quite mobile and their occurrence in relation to
pollutional effects is difficult to evaluate.

     Cyrnellus frate wins was one of the most abundant caddisflies in Ohio
River Basin basket samplers.  The peak abundance of this caddisfly during
the summer of 1965 was progressively later from northeast to southwest
[Figure 17).  At Cincinnati and Louisville the peak occurred in late July
and early August whereas at Evansville and the Wabash River at New Harmony,
250 miles west, the peak occurred in late September.  Information on peak
abundances of predominant species over a period of years is invaluable for
evaluating abnormal responses of populations caused by pollution.

     The greatest diversity in any one artificial substrate was 19 taxa in
the September, 1967 basket  (Figure 18).  The total taxa from all baskets
was 15 in 1964, 19 in 1965, 23 in 1966 and 24 in 1967.  The majority of the
fauna was composed of facultative representatives in few numbers suggesting
slight organic enrichment.  The fauna steadily gained in diversity and
number of individuals over the five year period indicating general
improvement in water quality just upstream from Cincinnati.

OHIO RIVER - LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY (MILE 600.5)

     The Louisville station was located upstream from industrial and
municipal sources of pollution although several small creeks upstream
from the station contributed allochthonous organic matter.

     Dredge sampling at Louisville in 1963 consisted of two series collected
in May and August.  Six samples each were taken from the left (north) bank,
midstream, and the right (south) bank near the Louisville Water intake
structure.  Dredge sampling in August, 1964 consisted of a series taken
near both banks and mid-channel.  In 1965, 1966 and 1967, the dredge series
consisted of three samples each near the left and right banks.  Four
basket collections were taken during June, August, September and November,
1965 and three during each of the years, 1966 and 1967 (Figure 19).

     The DO monthly means during the summer ranged from 7.2-8.4 mg/1 in
1963, 6.2-7.3 in 1964, 4.4-6.2 in 1965, 3.8-4.9 in 1966, and 3.8-4.4 in
1967 (Table III).  The maximum temperature was 30.0°C in August, 1964.
The minimum pH was 7.1 in September, 1964.

     The series of dredge samples collected near both banks (soft mud and
sand) and mid-channel (sand) in May and August, 1963 and August, 1964 were
almost identical in composition and contained the midge larvae; Coelotanypus
and Procladius; the clams Corbicula, Lamps-ilis and Sphaerium; and oligochaetes
(mostly Tubificidae).  Samples from the left bank generally contained a
greater number of individuals and diversity (worms, midges and mollusks)
than those from the sandy right bank.  Facultative Cryptochironomus digitatus
gr. and pollution-tolerant Chiponomus attenuatus (midges) were collected only
from the left bank.  The phantom midge Chaoborus punotipennis was prevalent
in the 1964 samples.  Dredge samples from the right bank in 1964 contained
midge larvae Procladius and Cryptoehiponomus averaging 28/sq. ft.  Several
mollusks  were  also collected, including the pelecypods Corbiaula, P'Ls-idium
and Sphaei>ium and the gastropods Campeloma sp., PleuroceTa sp., Physa sp.,
and Gypaulus sp..  Oligochaetes averaged less than 100/sq. ft.  The 1965
and 1966 dredge samples showed little deviation from those in 1963 and 1964
except that oligochaetes increased to approximately 300/sq. ft.

     A dramatic increase in the number of pollution-tolerant oligochaetes
occurred in the July, 1966 dredge series (Figure 7).  The combined taxa in
1967 was 24, the largest diversity taken by dredge series at any Ohio River
station during the five-year study.   Of the total, nine taxa were midges,
two were caddisflies, three were damselflies, and four were mollusks.
(Appendix A-25).

     Thirty different taxa appeared in four artificial substrate collections
at Louisville in 1965.  Fourteen species of midge larvae and pollution-
sensitive caddisflies Athripsodes and Agvaylea were present.  Facultative
organisms; caddisfly, Cymellus fratemus and mayflies Stenonema spp. also
were very abundant.  Coibioula and Turbellaria were present in nearly every
sample.  In 1966, 20 taxa were collected including two stoneflies, Taeni-opteryx
nivalis and AGroneuria sp.  and three samples in 1967 contained a total of
28 taxa (Appendix A-27). Changes in the bottom fauna durine the five year
period reflect  increasing enrichment.

OHIO RIVER - EVANSVILLE, INDIANA (MILE 787,5)

     The city of Evansville is located on the  outer side of a large horse-
shoe bend in the river.  In May and August, 1963, a series of six Petersen
dredge samples was collected at Highway 41 bridge (mile 787.5)  five miles
upstream from Evansville.  There were no samples in 1964.  Two samples were
collected under the bridge near the left bank  in June, 1965.   In August,  1966
and September, 1967, samples were collected near the left bank four miles
downstream from the bridge.  Few dredgings were taken near the right bank
because of an extensive and shallow sand bar.

     Artificial substrate sampling at the Evansville station was initiated
in August of 1965 with samples collected in September, November and December.
The basket sampler was attached to the downstream end of the Evansville Boat
Club dock located on the left bank next to Highway 41 bridge.  Basket samples
were collected in July, August and November of 1966, and June,  September and
October of 1967 at the same location.  High water in this reach of the Ohio
River usually prevented the installation of basket samplers until late July.

     Chemical and Physical data for 1963-1965  (Table IV, Figure 15) show that
the mean temperature, DO, BOD, pH and turbidity values increased at Evansville
as compared to the upstream stations.  Table III presents the data in greater
detail for the summer months.  The mean summer temperatures were approximately
28°C for July and August, and 24°C in September.  The monthly mean DO,  1963-67,
was 8.0 mg/1, and the measurements ranged from a low of 3.7 in September,  1965
to a high of 10.2 in September, 1964 and July,  1966.  The pH ranged from
7.5 to 8.8.   The turbidity units ranged from 25 to 440 during the five years.

     Midge larvae and oligochaetes were the most abundant macroinvertebrates
collected in the dredge samples.  Many of the  taxa were the same as collected
at Louisville, including Coelotanypus and Procladius.  Organisms from the
sandy bottom included a number of clams, including Leptodea sp.  and CoTbioula.
Many Ephemeroptera (Stenonema spp.) were found on rocks along the right
Kentucky bank in June, 1965.  The percent composition of macroinvertebrates
in the 1966 dredgings was approximately 50% midge larvae and 50% oligochaetes.
A total of 116 organisms/sq. ft. was collected at Evansville in the August,
1966 dredge samples as compared to 367/sq. ft.  for the July samples at
Louisville (Figure 7).  The difference was largely due to oligochaetes.

     In 1965, a total of 23 taxa was collected from three baskets and the most
abundant organism was the caddisfly Cyrnellus  fvatermus.  Pollution-sensitive
stoneflies,  Isoperla bilineata and Taeinopteryx, were collected only in the
December sample.  The dragonfly naiad Neurocordulia occurred in the September
sample.  In 1966, the total taxa increased to  29, and in 1967 (Figure 9)  a
greater variety of midges, caddisflies and mayflies occurred in the baskets.

     The composition of the midge fauna at Evansville changed from predominately
facultative Psectroaladius and Dicrotendipes nervosus in 1965 to pollution-
tolerant Glyptotendipes spp., which arefavored by organic enrichment and slower
stream flow (Appendix A-31J.In 1967, the fauna again was different than the
preceding year.  In addition to the change in  the midge population, the caddis-
flies Neupeclips-is crepusoularis, Hydrophy dhe  orris and Potamyia flava were
                                   -36-

-------
abundant only during 1967.   Stenonema were very numerous but other mayflies,
Tricorythodes and Baetis were few in number.   The stonefly Isoperla was
collected in the November sample.  Figure 20  shows that the diversity as
well as abundance or organisms increased dramatically in the September, 1967
sample.  A total of 40 taxa was collected from baskets in 1967, the largest
variety at any one station on the Ohio River.

     There was an increasing trend in the abundance and diversity of macro-
invertebrates at Evansville during the years  studied (Figures 8 and 9).  The
large, diverse populations  of midges, caddis flies and mayflies reflect
stimulation by moderate organic enrichment.

OHIO RIVER - CAIRO, ILLINOIS  (MILE 980.4)

     The Cairo, Illinois station was at Highway 60 bridge  (River Mile 980.4)
during  1963-65.  This station was one-half mile upstream from the confluence
of the  Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, a wide expanse of river.  Dredge sampling
in 1963 at Cairo, Illinois consisted of a dredge series in May and August
near the right bank.  Also a dredge series from mud and sand bottom at the
bridge  was collected July, 1964.  No dredge samples were obtained in 1965.

     In 1966 the sampling location was moved from the bridge, to Lock and Dam
#53, Grand Chain, Illinois, 18 miles upstream from Cairo.  The move was made
to avoid vandalism to the basket samplers and to facilitate retrieval.  The
water at Cairo was more corrosive to the baskets and steel cable than at Grand
Chain,  but less corrosive than the Monongahela River at Pittsburgh.  The water
level fluctuates greatly at Grand Chain even during the summer and therefore
the baskets were suspended on polyurethane-filled, five-galIon cans to
maintain a constant depth.  Floating debris and high water continually
caused  difficulty in maintaining the samplers at the lock and dam.

     The DO values were not sufficiently low to be limiting on the majority
of macroinvertebrates.   A low of 4.5 mg/1 was recorded in July, 1965, but
the mean value was 5.6 mg/1.  The mean pH was 7.5  The year 1966 was a period
of low  flow, with an average of 176,000 cfs while the average for the other
years was 237,000 cfs.

     August dredge samples from the series at Highway 60 Bridge in 1963 con-
tained  few midges (Coelotanypus and Stenoch'tronomus) and oligochaetes; 3/sq. ft.
and 12/sq.  ft., respectively.   Corb'lcula numbered 13/sq. ft. in the August
sample.   The late July, 1964 series at the same location contained, in addition
to a few midges and oligochaetes, burrowing mayflies Hexagenia limbata? and 17
Corbicula/sq.  ft.

     Usually few macroinvertebrates were collected in the dredge series
(Appendix A-33).   The majority were oligochaetes.   In 1967, 13 taxa were found
in 6 samples,  five of which were midges, Coelotanypus,  Prooladius,
Polypedilim scalaenim,  P.  halterale^  and Cyptochironomns digitatus  gr.

     Basket samplers, during three sampling periods in 1965 (Figure 21), con-
tained  13,  10 and 15 taxa, respectively.  Facultative caddisflies;  Hydropsyche
orris and Potconyia flava;  mayflies; Stenonema,  Tincorythodes,  and Baetis were
predominant.   The dragonfly NeiecocoTcdulia occurred in the August and November
samples.  In 1966,  16 taxa were obtained at Grand Chain, two thirds of which
were midge  and caddisflies.   The predominant midge throughout the years
sampled was Polypedilwn illi-noense which prefers sluggish enriched  streams.
A total  of 23 taxa was  collected in the late September  and late October, 1967
samples.  Most of the species  were similar to those listed for 1965-66
(Appendix A-34).

     Hydropsychid caddisflies  dominated the late September, 1966 basket
collections (Figure 11) and numbered over half of the total individuals.  In
1966 only 59 were  collected in the October sample.   In  1965, 458 larvae were
                                    -39-

collected as late as November and 202 in December.  During the period of
low flow in 1966, Hydropsychidae were most abundant in July and August.
General periods of abundance for stream insects may vary considerably from
year to year depending on environmental factors.

     Figures 7, 8, 9 and 11 show that generally the numbers and diversity of
macroinvertebrates were less than those at the Evansville station.  Fewer
pollution-sensitive organisms were present.  However, in certain respects
elements of the fauna resembled collections at Cincinnati, Louisville and
Evansville.

OHIO RIVER TRIBUTARIES

KANAWHA RIVER - LONDON, WEST VIRGINIA (MILE 82.6)

     The London, West Virginia station,  13 miles above the Charleston
industrial complex, was established in 1966 as a control.  The basket
sampler float-unit was attached to the London Lock and Dam upstream outer
guard wall.  Samplers were collected in July, September and November.  In
1967, Petersen dredge series, three near the left bank and three near the
right, were collected at Glasgow three miles downstream from the dam.  Also,
in 1967  three baskets were collected in July, August, and October (Figure 22).

     Temperature and flow data are available for 1963, 1966 and 1967.  A
limited number of chemical values exists for June through August at mile 74
in 1964 and 1965.  These data show the minimum DO was 6.3 mg/1, and the
average monthly value approximately 7 mg/1.  The temperature did not exceed
31°C and the minimum pH was 7.1 (Table IV).

     The 1967 bottom dredgings contained a mixture of sand and silt.  Midge
larvae; Criootopus, Chiponomus s.s., Procladius, Coelotanypus, CryptoohiTonomus,
Pavaaladopelma, Polypedilum, Xenochiponomus, Ablabesmyi-a, and Diarotendipes
sp.  accounted for 10 of the 16 taxa collected in the six samples.  The presence
of the pollution-associated bloodworm Chironomus attenuatus gr. is indicative of
organic enrichment.  The Asiatic clam Corbicula was the most abundant organism
in the dredgings, averaging 95/sq. ft.

     The baskets in 1966 contained a total of 33 taxa, half of which were
midge larvae.  The fauna contained representatives of the caddis fly Cyrnellus
frateimus, mayflies Tri-oorythodes and Stenonema, odonates Avgia, Enallagma spp.
(damselflies) and Maaromia and lleuTooovdulia (dragonflies), neuropteran Climaaia,,
flatworms, crustaceans, molluscans, bryozoans Plumatella and Umatella graailis
and coelenterates CordylophoTa and Hydr>a.  The composition of the fauna in
terms of numbers was quite heavily inclined toward facultative midges (Dicroten-
dipes), amphipods, Turbellaria and gastropods (Gyraulus).  Twenty-three taxa
were collected in the July sample, 14 in September, and 9 in November
(Appendix A-38).

     The 1967 baskets contained 37 different kinds of macroinvertebrates with
uniform distribution in number of individuals in each taxonomic category.
None of the taxa were outstandingly abundant except for amphipods and Stenonema
mayflies.

     The presence of pollution-tolerant bloodworms, Chironomus attenuatus and
Pvooladius, flatworms, pulmonate snails and leeches, in limited numbers, in-
dicates mild to moderate organic enrichment at London, W. Va.

KANAWHA RIVER-WINFIELD DAM, WEST VIRGINIA (MILE 31.1)

     Winfield Dam is located 30 miles below the Charleston, West Virginia
industrial complex.  The stream at this station is approximately 200 yards
wide and 20 ft deep.  The water is dark brown in appearance.  During May,
1963 a series of dredge samples was taken 0.5 mile upstream and downstream
from the lock and dam, and in July and November at the downstream location.
No dredgings were taken in 1964 or 1965.  In July, 1966 and August, 1967
dredge samples were collected above the lock and dam near the Winfield Toll
Bridge (Mile 32.2).  Three separate basket collections were taken each year
during 1965-67.

     The water temperature averaged approximately the same as the nearest
main stem Ohio River station at Addison, Ohio.  The maximum values were usually
one to two degrees higher and in 1964 the maximum value was 32.5°C.  The
mean monthly DO values were usually below 1 mg/1 during the summer, and
minimum values of 0.0 mg/1 were recorded during most summer months (Table III).
The pH seldom dropped below 6.5 during the summer.

     Odors of hydrogen sulfide and other chemicals were noticeable in the
area of the locks.  Undecomposed leaves, coal fines, and tar-like deposits
covered the bottom.  Quite often the surface water at the dam was black with
coal dust.

     Dredge samples upstream and downstream from the lock and dam in May, 1963,
contained less than 100 worms/sq. ft., less than one midge larva/sq. ft.
( Coelotanypus ); and two elmid beetles/sq. ft.  The July series contained less
than one midge larva/sq. ft. (Procladius) and 860 worms/sq. ft.  The November
series contained only worms, 364/sq. ft.  The dredge series in July, 1966
one mile above the dam contained 17 worms/sq. ft., one Chaoborus (phantom
midge larva), and a partially decomposed Stenonema mayfly nymph.  The 1967
dredge series contained 7 taxa, mostly represented by a few midges; Procladius3
Chironomus attenuates and Psectvoaladius.

     The baskets in three 1965 collections  (Figure 23) contained a total of
three taxa or less.  Other than worms, one midge and one caddisfly were
present.  During 1966, 8 taxa were recorded in the three baskets, and the
greatest numbers were nematodes and worms (totaling 9,700 individuals in the
November 3 sample).  The unbalanced population at Winfield Dam contrasted to
the 33 taxa uniformly distributed in composition at London, West Virginia is
dramatic evidence of the pollutional effects  from the Charleston complex on
the aquatic life in the river.  The nearly  complete elimination of all macro-
invertebrates, except for one or two select groups, is a typical response of
macroinvertebrates to gross toxic pollution.

     The 1967 basket collections contained  a  greater total diversity in that
18 taxa were recorded, but most were pollution-tolerant bloodworms  (Pr>ooladius,
Diarotendipes incurvus gr. and Chironomus attenuatus).  During the summer of
1967 some of the major chemical plants at Charleston were on strike.  The
nature and amount of toxic substances entering the river during this period were
                                  -44-

not known, but the greater diversity of macroinvertebrates  in  the basket
samplers suggested a lessened effect of pollution  on  the macrofauna  during
this period.

     The bottom fauna at Pt.  Pleasant,  West  Virginia  (mile  1.5) was  pre-
dominatly bloodworms, (C.  attenuates and Glyptotendipes) and sludgeworms.

     The effects of industrial pollution diminished sufficiently at  Pt.
Pleasant, West Virginia permitting organisms tolerant to organic pollution
to inhabit the stream.

WABASH RIVER - NEW HARMONY, INDIANA  (MILE 51.5)

     During the summer, the Wabash River at New Harmony, Indiana is shallow
 (6-12 ft) with numerous sand bars as it winds southward toward the Ohio
 River 50 miles away.  The river often overflows its bank onto a mile-wide
 flood plain during spring floods.  The current is variable and localized
 deposits of debris are common, forming a multi-substrate bottom.

     Petersen dredge samples in series of three were collected near each bank
 100 yds below Highway 460 bridge in  1963, 1965, and 1967.  No sampling was
 conducted in the Wabash River during 1964.  In 1966, samples were collected
 50 yds above the bridge.  The fauna  collected in the dredgings showed little
similarity within a series due to the various microhabitats encountered.

     Basket samples were collected in August, September, November and December,
 1965, July, August, October and November, 1966 and July, September and October,
 1967 (Figure 24).

     The mean water temperature was 5°C higher in July than September.  The
mean TDS was consistently greater (364 mg/1) than at any of the other OBR
stations sampled and reached its highest mean value in 1966, a year of low
 flow.  The mean pH ranged between 7.5-8.0 during the summers of 1963-66.  The
mean alkalinity was 179 mg/1, much higher than at other stations and maximum
values of 250 mg/1 were not uncommon.  The yearly mean DO ranged between 9.1
and 11.5 mg/1 (Table IV) for the five years with a minimum record of 4.9 mg/1
in July, 1963.

     Moderate worm populations and midge larvae (49 and 14/sq. ft., respec-
tively) were dredged from the muddy bottom in 1963.  Midges included Stenoohi-
ronomuSs Cryptoahironomns spp. and Tanypodinae.  The mayfly Caen-is and burrow-
ing mayfly Eexagenia, the snails Physa and Amnicola were present in the 1965
dredgings.  In 1966, one Hexagenia/sq.  ft. was collected.  The pollution-
tolerant bloodworms Proeladius and Coelotanypus were the most abundant bottom
organisms of the 21 taxa collected (Appendix A-41).  Bottom samples in 1967
contained a greater variety of macroinvertebrates than was collected by dredge
at any other Ohio River Basin station.   The 38 taxa, in well-balanced propor-
tions, included 5 mayfly species:  (Hexagenia, Pentagenia,  Stenonema, Caenis
and Baet-ls) ; 18 midge species, 3 caddisflies species (Potamyia, Leptocella and
Oeoeti,s) and clams (Quadvula, Covbicula,  Lampsilis and Sphaeriwv).   Worms,
bryozoans, leeches, flatworms and nematodes also were present.

     The four basket samples in 1965 contained an abundant and diverse community
totaling 47 taxa (Appendix A-43) with an average of 666 individuals/basket.
Stoneflies were present in the September and November collections.   Both the
August and October 1966 basket samples  contained over 15,000 individuals, three-
fourths of which were pollution-tolerant bloodworms, Glyptotendipes prob. bcuc-
bipes.   This midge inhabits streams with heavy organic pollution.  The total
taxa in four 1966 baskets were 25.   Thirty nine taxa, many of which are pollution-
tolerant, were collected in both basket and dredge in 1966 as compared to 61
taxa in 1965.   The dramatic change in the faunal composition which took place
from one year to the next is considered to be the result of low flow conditions

in 1966 and consequent greater concentration of nutrients.   In  1967,  the
faunal diversity in the baskets increased to 33 taxa and the number of
individuals (especially £.  barbipes?)  declined in numbers to nearly the
same as in 1965.  The largest sample in 1967 contained 4,500 individuals
represented by 19 taxa.  The return of the fauna to  a more balanced state
in 1967 indicated that 1966 was not a typical year in terms  of  water  quality
at New Harmony.

     The abundance and diversity of organisms in the Wabash  River  at  New
Harmony indicate that the benthic fauna was stimulated by moderate organic
pollution.

                                SUMMARY
     The composition and distribution of macroinvertebrates at nine Ohio
River and five tributary stations were studied during 1963-67.  The long-
term study revealed that macroinvertebrate populations in the industrialized
upper Ohio River area were sparse throughout the years sampled.  The fauna
was characterized by pollution-tolerant and facultative organisms.   There
was a noticeable increase in the number and variety of benthic organisms in
the middle and lower reaches of the Ohio River as compared to the upper reach.
At some stations the faunal composition varied only slightly from year to
year whereas at others changes were pronounced.  During the five year period
the abundance and diversity of macroinvertebrates increased at most of the
stations in the middle and lower reaches.  There was a general increase in
the yearly mean temperature, dissolved oxygen, BOD, pH, and turbidity at
Louisville, Kentucky and Evansvilie, Indiana compared with the other main stem
stations.

     Pollution from the lower Allegheny and Monongahela rivers limited the
macroinvertebrate populations downstream from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to
those organisms tolerant of low pH and toxic wastes, principally bloodworms
and oligochaetes.   Pollution-sensitive caddisflies, mayflies and stoneflies
were not found at Pittsburgh.  Caddisflies appeared at Toronto, Ohio; may-
flies were present 260 miles downstream at Addison, Ohio, and stoneflies at
Huntington, West Virginia.  These taxa were present at other stations down-
stream from Huntington.

     The most diverse fauna in basket samplers (artificial substrates) at any
Ohio River station was collected at Evansville, Indiana, in 1967.  Dominant
forms at Evansville, Indiana and Cairo, Illinois were; hydropsychid caddis-
flies, Hydropsyahe s'lmulans, H. orris., PotamyLa flava, and Cheumatopsyche.
The snails Pleurooera and Physa were common.

     There was no noticeable improvement in the abundance and kinds of bottom
fauna in the Monongahela River at Pittsburgh during the five years.  Dredge
samples throughout 1963-67 contained only pollution-tolerant sludgeworms and
a few bloodworms.   Occasionally, damsel flies and midges were collected from
the artificial substrate samplers.

     The Allegheny River at Pittsburgh was found to have a more diverse fauna
than the Monongahela.  However, the populations did not approximate either
the number or diversity of organisms collected at the middle and lower Ohio
River stations.

     Dredge and basket samples from the Kanawha River at Winfield Dam, West
Virginia (approximately 30 miles downstream from the Charleston Industrial
Complex), contained mostly worms.  Basket samples collected 18 miles above
Charleston at London, West Virginia contained a balanced macroinvertebrate
fauna.  Low dissolved oxygen concentrations and toxic substances in the water
below Charleston greatly reduced the variety of macroinvertebrates.
                                   -50-

-------
     The macroinvertebrate fauna in the Wabash River at New Harmony, Indiana
changed considerably from 1963 to 1967.  In 1963 and 1965 a large and
diverse fauna consisting of facultative midges, caddisflies, odonates and
mollusks existed.  In 1966, the number of taxa decreased by nearly one-half
and thousands of pollution-tolerant bloodworms were present.  Correspondingly,
1966 was a period of low flow during the summer, which limited the water
for dilution of organic matter.  In 1967 the fauna returned to its former
composition.

     The taxa found to be ubiquitous in the Ohio River Basin were; midges,
Dicrotendipes nervosus3  Prooladius sp. , Coelotanypus, Citicotopus spp.,
Ablabesmyia spp., Crytochironomus spp., and Psectvocladius spp.  Also,
present at most stations were the caddis fly Cyimellus fraternus, the damsel fly
Argia, the mayfly Stenonema and the coelenterate Cordylophova lacustris.  The
midges Glyptotendipes spp., and Chironomus attenuatus were common inhabitants
in water with organic enrichment.  Chironomus riparius gr., Cricotopus spp. and
Ppocladius were commonly found in water receiving toxic pollutants and low pH.

     Taxa more limited in distribution included:  the midge Chironomus riparius
(upper Ohio River) C. attenuatus and Xenooh-iponomus xenolabis (middle Ohio
River) and Tanypus (lower Ohio River); the crayfish Orconeates obscuvus
(Allegheny River and upper Ohio), 0.  rusticus (Wabash River and middle Ohio);
the caddisflies Potamyia flava and Hydropsyahe orr>is3 stoneflies Isopevla
bilineata and AGroneuina spp., mayflies Hexagenia and Caenidae and the dragon-
fly Neurocordulia sp. (middle and lower Ohio River).  The asiatic clam Corbioula
was found from Marietta to Cairo.  The stoneflies Aovoneuria occurred in the

Peak periods of hydropsychid caddisflies were observed from mid-August to
late September in the middle and lower Ohio River Basin.

 GLOSSARY

Allochthonous :

"Pertaining to those substances, materials or organisms in a waterway
which originate outside and are brought into the waterway."!

Artificial Substrate:

"A device placed in the water (for a specified period of time) that
provides living spaces for a multiplicity of organisms..."!  The artificial
substrate sampler used in this study is a rock-filled basket.

Balanced Benthic Community:

A community of bottom dwelling organisms characterized by a large variety
with relatively even distribution of individuals within each taxonomic
group.  An unbalanced community is characterized by a few taxa represented
by a large number of individuals.

Basket Sampler:  (See "Artificial Substrate")

Benthos (Benthic Organisms):

"Bottom-dwelling organisms..."   Organisms, both plant and animal,
associated with the bottom sediments.  In this report the term denotes
only macroinvertebrate organisms.

Bloodworms:

"Midge fly larvae.   Many of the species have hemoglobin in the blood
causing a red color and are often associated with rich organic deposits."!

Bottom Fauna:  (See "Macroinvertebrate")

Cormunity Diversity :

"Pertaining to the variety of species within a given association of
organisms."^  A diverse benthic fauna contains many different kinds or
species, but the term is not related to abundance of organisms in this
report.

Dredge Series:

Any number of replicate dredge samples taken in sequence at a sampling
location.  In this report, replicate samples of three or six were used
to calculate average numbers per sq. ft.

Enrichment:

"An increase in the quantity of nutrients available to aquatic organisms
for their growth."!  Nutrients include both organic and inorganic materials.
                                    A-l

-------
Facultative Organisms:

Facultative organisms are tolerant to a wide range of environmental
conditions.

Habitat:

"A specific type of place that is occupied by an organism, a population
or a community. "•*•

Intolerant Organisms:  (See Pollution-Sensitive Organisms)

"Organisms that exhibit a rapid response to environmental changes and
are killed, driven out of the area, or as a group are,substantially
reduced in numbers when their environment is fouled."

Maeroinvertebrates:

Aquatic invertebrates generally visible to the unaided eye.  In this
report macroinvertebrates are those invertebrates that are retained on
a U. S. Standard No. 30 sieve (0.59 mm mesh openings).

Multisubstrate Bottom:

A stream bottom composed of a variety of different types of materials, e-g->
sand, mud, gravel and organic detritus, all within the same general vicinity.

Organism:

"Any living individual."

PoIlution-Sensitive Organisms :

Pollution-sensitive organisms are those which through bioassay tests and
experience are known to require environmental conditions associated with
non-polluted habitats, e.g., high DO, pH near neutral, etc.

Pollution-Tolerant Organisms:

Pollution-tolerant organisms are known to tolerate environmental conditions
associated with polluted water, e.g., low DO, pH, etc,

Species:

An evolved, or probably still evolving, genetically distinct, reproduct-
ively isolated, natural population. Species in this report refers  to the
most precise level of taxonomic identification.
                                    A-2

-------
Sludgeworms:

"Aquatic segmented worms (class Oligochaeta) that exhibit marked population
increases in waters polluted with decomposable wastes."

Taxon (Taxa, pi.):

"A kind of organism.  Any taxonomic unit or category of organisms; e.g.,
species, genus, family, order, etc."

Tolerant Organism:  (See Pollution-Tolerant Organisms)

"... organisms capable of withstanding adverse conditions within the
habitat."1
