ABSTRACTABSIRALT we studied aquatic insect production inin three cold desert streams inin southeastern washington thesize frequency SF and PB methods were used to assess production which isis expressed by taxon functional group andtrophic level
dipteransDipterans midges and black flies were the most productive taxa accounting for 40 70 of the total insect productionproduction by collectors andmd detntivoresdetritivores was the greatest of all functional groups and trophic levels respectively in all studystreams
insects with rapid development times and multiple cohorts are very important inm cold desert streams they were majorcontributors to the total insect production total insect production rates inin our study streams 14142323 g DW in

our data support the contention of others that production rather than density or biomass isis the most accurate andmeaningful way to assess the role of these organisms inin lotic ecosystems
