Abstract:
This study will assess changes in the benthic fauna of Rainy
Lake and three Namakan Reservoir lakes in Voyageurs National
Park, Minnesota in relation to changes in hydrologic regimes in
these water bodies initiated in 2000. Benthic invertebrate
samples collected in these lakes during June and August 2004 to
analyze community composition and structure of these lakes with
respect to water chemistry, depth, sediment characteristics,
macrophytes, and season, in addition to potential effects of
differing water-level regimes. This task agreement is for year
1 of a 3 year project.
