Body Length-mass Relationships of Aquatic Insect of Mountain Streams in Central Korean Peninsula

Publication Information
Abstract
For twenty-nine aquatic insect taxa common to mountain headwater streams in central Korean peninsula, body length-dry mass and -ash free dry mass relationships were developed by using a natural log transformed power function. Most of the predicted mass at length of this study was rather similar to those of other studies. Taxa with higher predicted mass at length than predicted by others tend to have soft exoskeleton and move by stretching and contracting their body. Ash rate in average was 10% of dry mass and was not significantly different among functional feeding groups.
