摘要：

Macroinvertebrates from the upper Arkansas River were studied to identify taxa sensitive to heavy metal (zinc) impacts. Field collections and introduced substrates indicated that Rithrogena hageni was intolerant of conditions caused by mine drainage into the Arkansas River. Numbers of R. hageni at the impacted site increased significantly after treatment of mine drainage water was initiated. Data collected from this study suggest that the use of colonized substrates may be useful in studying metal impacts on macroinvertebrate communities.
