The benthic macroinvertebrates of Lake Yamanakako have been studied by various researchers (Miyadi 1932; Kitagawa 1973; Yasuno et al. 1983). We compared our results with previous data on chironomids and oligochaetes reported by Miyadi (1932) and Kitagawa (1973) and tried to clarify the relationship between the eutrophication of Lake
Sample text:```The lower abundance of fish at impacted reaches detected in our study agrees with the results of other authors, who in some cases found four times higher biomass at control reaches (Kube cka et al. 1997; Almod ovar & Nicola 1999).```
Sample intent: result

Sample text:```Dead individuals were removed, surface sterilized with 5.2% sodium hypochlorite, rinsed twice with sterile water, and plated on potato dextrose agar to confirm that mortality was due to infection by M. anisopliae (Rosengaus et al. 1998).```

Sample text:```It is clear from these results and those from previous studies Bagwell et al. 1998; 2001; Bergholz et al. 2001 that numerous diazotrophs inhabiting the rhizoplanes of salt marsh plants are strongly influenced by specific properties of the plant host and somewhat less influenced by the abiotic…```
