Abstract
Factors affecting the population dynamics, distribution, and migration of nine species of simuliid larvae in a complex of small streams on the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland, were studied. The most significant factors affecting the distribution and migration of simuliid larvae were current velocity, substrate type, and water depth; temperature, light, chemical composition of the water, and parasites were found to be of little or no significance.Keywords
