A Check-list of Algae in Wascana Lake

Algal Blooms

“…Algal Blooms of Wascana Lake Some years ago, one of the authors undertook a project to take an inven¬ tory of the algae of Wascana Lake and to recognize the ones that formed blooms. In this connection, a check-j list of the algae of Wascana Lake has recently been published (Raju, Young, and Hines, 1971).
