Abstract
The benthic macroinvertebrates of stream around Mt. Innae, Mt. Gumi and Mt. Dodung in Daegu were studied between April and September in 2005. Physico-chemical factors such as depth, velocity, pH, conductivity and DO were measured in each study site. The depth distributed from 3.3 cm to 18.6 cm, conductivity from 35.5 to 223.1${\mu}s$, and DO between 5.66 and 10.73$mgL^{-1}$. Total observed species of benthic macroinvertebrates were 78 in study streams. The first dominant family was Chironomidae, occupying from 59 to 65%. The other dominant families were Ephemeroptera (12$\sim$19%) and Gastropoda (5$\sim$14%). Mt. Innae was observed as having the most abundance species. EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera) richness were from 4 to 14.
