Large-Scale Operations Management Test of Use of the White Amur for Control of Problem Aquatic Plants. Report 4. Third Year Poststocking Results. Volume VI. The Water and Sediment Quality of Lake Conway, Florida.
Abstract
This report presents the results of the third annual poststocking period covering the 12-month period from September 1979-August 1980. The data collected during this period are compiled herein in a format similar to that used for the baseline report and the two previous poststocking reports. The compiled poststocking data are compared to the baseline conditions to determine if any significant changes have occurred as a result of the introduction of the white amur into Lake Conway. Subsequent to the introduction of the white amur, both total filterable and total unfilterable phosphorus underwent significant downward trends that presently appear to be becoming stable. Conversely, the gradual upward trend of chlorophyll-a continued during this period. Sediment quality data showed several changes from the baseline period. The mean total phosphorus concentration decreased 56 percent as compared to the baseline period. Conversely, mean copper and lead concentrations increased above baseline values. (Author)
