6th International Congress of DipterologyComparison of the adult chironomid fauna caught by lighttraps in Nishina Three LakesShimura, K. (1), Masaru Yamamoto (3), Masamichi Yamamoto (2), K. Oga (1) & K.Hirabayashi (1)(1) Department of Applied Biology, Faculty of Textile Science and Technology, ShinshuUniversity, Ueda, Nagano 386-8567, Japan.(2) Research and Education Center for Inlandwater Environment, Shinshu University,Suwa, Nagano, 392-0027, Japan.(3) Kankyoukagaku kabushikigaisha, Toyonaka, Osaka, 561-0881, Japan.Lake Aoki, Nakatsuna and Kizaki are called Nishina Three Lakes andconnected in the same water system. The trophic level of each lake hasbeen differed. These Lakes is one of the most intensively investigatedlakes in Japan. But adult chironomid study is little. Asakawa (1977) onlyreported 40 species of adult chironomid around the Lakes. This study wasconducted to clarify the species composition in Nishina three Lakes. Theabundance of adult chironomid was monitored using light traps in May,August and October 2005, and February 2006. The light traps captured atotal of 97 species (the total chironomid individual numbers 13,180). Thedominant species was Tanytarsus mendax in Lake Aoki (2,394 individuals)and Lake Kizaki (693 individuals), and Polypedilum kyotoense in LakeNakatsuna (1,377 individuals). The individual number and speciescomposition showed seasonal change and differed in each lake.Key Words: adult chironomid, different trophic level, light trap, speciescomposition, seasonal change∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗232
