Abstract

The occurrence of chironomids in a standard pond net sample was studied. The standard pond net sample is quite biased; its qualitative to semi-quantitive character should always be taken into account. It is advised to transform abundances (log-normal) of chironomids when collected with the standard pond net. Despite disadvantages the pond net can be used in water quality surveys because of their general objectives.
