Abstract
During 1981, the U.S. EPA undertook 4 limological surveys of
nearshore waters of Lake Ontario, including the Niagara River Plume,
the Rochester Embayment and Oswego Harbor. Water Samples from 81
locations were analyzed for 22 physical and chemical parameters.
Cluster analyses were used to identify station groupings as Lake,
mixing or nearshore, and river source areas. Spatial and temporal
differences in the data are discussed.
Phytoplankton samples were collected during 3 surveys of the
Oswego harbor and 1 survey of the Niagara River plume area. Species
identifications, enumerations and biovolumes are reported. The
spatial and temporal differences in phytoplankton community
structure in the Oswego Harbor are discussed.
