Chironomid emergence was quantified in four small lakes at Saqvaqjuac, N.W.T. (63°39′N), before and after lake fertilization. Emerging biomass responded immediately to increased phytoplankton production, reaching equilibrium the following year. Emergence from the reference lake was extremely variable, for no apparent reason. The emergence – phytoplankton production relationships found by Davies for the Experimental Lakes Area (~49°N) were generally valid for Saqvaqjuac lakes and Char Lake (74°42′), except that (1) biomass was better correlated than numbers because of increased mean size with increasing latitude and (2) total primary production was a better predictor than phytoplankton production alone because benthic photosynthesis increases with increasing latitude. Chironomid production seems to be a predictable function of total primary production throughout the latitudinal range of the small Canadian lakes examined.
