Methods

  • Current Methods
    • Unnamed Method
      • Method Description: Efforts were made to seek out and sample all littoral habitat types at each lake- silt-muck, sand, gravel-cobble-rock, organic detritus, logs and submergent and emergent vegetation. The littoral zone was sampled because it should yield the greatest number of species, the most valued fish food organisms, is less influenced by other natural limiting factors than the profundal zone, and was a zone common to all the lakes.
