Abstract

1. Environmental variables, benthic algal biomass and macroinvertebrate fauna were examined from September 1999 to January 2000 (austral summer) along two glacier-fed rivers in South Island, New Zealand. 2. The rivers were characterized by high flow variability, high turbidity and physically disturbed beds. Water temperature ranged from C near the glacier margin to 10 degreesC further downstream. 3. Epilithic algal biomass was very low (
