The vitamin B₁₂ concentrations in both the water and sediments
of Klamath Lake were found to vary significantly during a
one-year period. The patterns of B₁₂ distribution were remarkably
similar among the three main sites. In all cases there was an extremely
sharp gradation in concentration in relation to depth...
Due to the immanent common property problem of water, non-point-pollution is the common feature of many inland waters and the eutrophic levels are alarmingly high. drinking water and other services are negatively affected by high eutrophic levels fisheries. Concerning causes of pollution, agriculture, subject to overuse of fertilizer and pesticides,...
The objective of this research is to determine the correlation of lacustrine micro-fossils in Lake Tanganyika to changes in climate and lake levels during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene.
Lake Tanganyika is the second deepest and one of the oldest lakes in the world. The horst and graben geometry...

Grazing rates and density of the crustacean zooplankton were measured
in Findley and Chester Morse Lakes and Lake Sammamish, Washington.
Sample analysis is incomplete at reporting time, thus estimates of
production from examination of life stage biomass changes was not possible.
Maximum density of crustacean zooplankton was about 10/1 in...
Interactions between sediment bacteria and available phosphate
necessary for algal production in a eutrophic lake were studied.
Twenty percent of the organisms isolated solubilized phosphate forms
such as CaHPO₄, Ca₃(PO₄)₂, FePO₄, Mg₃(PO₄)₂ and Al₂(PO₄)₂.
Solubilization of phosphates occurred under conditions of aerobic
growth.
Upon quantitative analysis, some isolates were capable...
Lakes Findley, Chester Morse and Sammamish, Washington, are characterized
by one major outburst of phytoplankton productivity and biomass (mainly
diatoms) with usually no or low fall activity. Vernal outbursts were often
delayed in some lakes and years probably by unfavorable climate (snow cover
and cloudy rainy conditions). Mean spring-summer productivity...
The species compositions and densities of the littoral and pelagic zooplankton
assemblages in Crater Lake were compared. The littoral and pelagic zooplankton
assemblages of most lakes are typically different due to different habitat conditions in the
two zones. The littoral zone of Crater Lake lacks many of the habitat characteristics,...
