The environmental monitoring survey using this organisms was called “Caddisfly Watch” and this activity has involved both scientists and local people for collecting them.A simple method is needed for the continuous monitoring of radiocesium (137Cs) contamination in riverine environments after the 2011 accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) in Japan. In a program called “Caddisfly Watch”, we used larvae of the caddisflyStenopsyche marmorata(Trichoptera: Stenopsychidae) to monitor the spatial distribution and estimate effective half-life (Teff) of137Cs pollution in riverine environments. Caddisfly larvae showed that the highest concentration of137Cs among several aquatic organisms and no apparent variation between growth stage. In addition, caddisfly larvae reflected137Cs concentrations in suspended particulate matter in their gut, and that showed no seasonal variation, better reproducibility, and significant correlation with those in sediment. Results indicate that caddisfly larvae can be used as a biological sampler of suspended particulate matters. TheTeffvalues of137Cs concentrations in caddisfly larvae estimated by single component decay function model showed significant fit. TheTeffvalues in Kuma, Maeda, downstream Niida, upstream Niida, Ohkawa, and Ukedo river showed 2.8, 5.7, 3.1, 6.7, 0.6, and 4.8 years (34, 68, 38, 80, 6.9, and 58 months), respectively. The results of declining trend in this study were similar to those in previous reported in Fukushima. Further continuous observations using this simple approach of “Caddisfly Watch” make it possible to predict the future of the contamination with radioactive Cs in the river environment.
