| Abstract | The report discusses the algal growths in Lake Sebasticook at Newport, Maine. The algal growths are caused principally by nutrients contained in domestic and industrial plant wastes that are discharged to the East Branch of the Sebasticook River at Dexter and Corinna, Maine. These nutrients produce as much as 9,700,000 pounds of algae as a standing crop within the lake during those days of the year that are optimum for algal development. |
