| Abstract |
The study was conducted to assess the status of fish populations of 22 lakes in Maine representing a range of chemical conditions related to acidity. All the lakes were in undisturbed watersheds. Lakes were selected that occurred in bedrock of high acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) and low ANC. In addition to assessing water chemistry and fish populations of each lake, trace element concentration, bone strength and composition, and gill histological parameters were studied. |
