Abstract
Life cycle and secondary production of Nymphs of Nemoura gemma Ham and Lee were estimated by using specimens collected from a stream in Mt. Jumbong in the central Korean peninsula. N. gemma in the study stream was univoltine. Youngest nymphs were collected in April. They appeared to grow continuously until the emergence in early spring next year. The cohort production interval for the species was estimated as 399 days. The annual secondary production (ash free dry weight) estimated by removal-summation and the size-frequency methods were 582 and $786\;mg\;m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$, respectively. Gut content analysis showed that N. gemma was a shredder.
