: Does anyone know of specific benthic macroinvertebrates that require a perennial flow to complete a lifecycle? This would be very helpful in a perennial vs. intermittent dispute. I know the Rivers Act states that there are certain macro's that require perennial flow but then they are not listed. And the checklist in the MACC manual does give consideration to macro's.
: Thanks ahead of time

Have you checked with MASS fish and wildlife, or the respective river coordinator. Let me know what town your in and I'll try to see who to contact.
