Popis:	Lake Rotowhero, a warm thermal lake in the thermal region of North Island, New Zealand, has seasonal temperatures varying between 29.5–37.5dgC, an average water pH of 3.1 and is highly eutrophic. It supports a dense population of Chlorella spp. throughout the year. The distribution of the exclusively insect macrofauna dominated by the benthic midge, Chironomus zealandicus Hudson is limited by temperature.
