“…Sources of variability in fish samples from the Des Moines River have been related to fish age, fish size, fat content, sampling period, and sampling location Bulkley, 1978;Hubert & Ricci, in press;Leung, 1979). It is likely that similar variations occur in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) residues in fish flesh.…”

Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in common carp, Cyprinus carpio, from the Des Moines River, Iowa, were assessed for variability related to sampling location, sampling period, fish age, and fat content. Concentrations were highest at a location near the City of Des Moines; they were substantially lower in 1981 than in 1980. Age and fat content had little influence on PCB concentrations in carp. Overall concentrations were some of the lowest recorded in the United States and Canada in recent times.

“…All of these problems, of course, are not experienced by any single reservoir. Any one of them, however, can be serious enough to severely limit a reservoir's potential, and thus, have been or currently are being investigated (Austin et al, 1980; Bell and Johnson, 1974;Leung, 1979; Riddle, 1978;Schnoor, 1980;Schreiber and Rausch, 1979; Thornton et al, 1979; Thornton, 1980; Wilson, 1973).The focus of this investigation was on phytoplankton growth and dis tribution in Red Rock Reservoir with particular emphasis being placed on planktonic diatoms. Numerous investigators have demonstrated the numeri cal importance of planktonic diatoms as well as their usefulness as ecolog ical indicator organisms (Williams, 1964;Lowe, 1974;Hartman and Mines, 1961;Hohn and Hellerman, 1963; Patrick et al, 1954;Starrett and Patrick, 1952; Margalef, 1969;Scruggs, 1972; Wang and Evans, 1970).…”

INFORMATION TO USERSThis reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted.The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is anindication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame.3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy.
