Description:
In this study, we used data from an OPC, and LOPC, and vertical net tows to estimate densities and describe the day/night vertical distribution of Mysis at a series of stations distributed throughout Lake Superior, and to evaluate the efficacy of using (L)OPC for examining DVM of Mysis. This work reports on testing of new methods and technology for monitoring and assessment of Mysis in Lake Superior. This research will ultimately help improve monitoring methods and design for assessing the condition of the Great Lakes.
