Abstract
This Bulletin is concerned with the possible changes which would take place in Lake Superior periphyton if pollution or enriching substances were added to the lake water. A means for assessing the possible changes taking place is described to assist water managers in monitoring the water quality of Lake Superior. To this end, two natural rock basins were constructed at the lakeside along the north shore at Castle Danger, Minnesota for the purpose of exposing naturally grown and regrowth periphyton to higher-than-normal levels of phosphate and nitrate. At weekly intervals, samples were collected and productivity was measured by enumeration of organisms, chlorophyll analysis, and weight, dry and organic. (Modified author abstract)
