Macro sample done (I have not received data so stream condition rating was Good) We found 2 different types of amphipod a large one which I think is Pseudomoera gabrieli ( i have had this one identified by the museum previously) and a smaller lighter coloured one which I am guessing is the Austrogammarus. We also found a freshwater mussel, but it was not in our sample. (Data enterer did not have this macro sample information so as of 25/10/09 it is not entered here)
