“…Wilson et al (1995) Fingernail clam populations were abundant in the Illinois River before the 1950s (Mills et al 1966). Paloumpis and Starrett (1960) found fingernail clams extremely abundant in Lake Matanzas (La Grange Pool; 212 m -2 ) in 1952. By 1953, they had disappeared from the lake.…”

“…The highest densities of mayflies were in Quiver Lake. Fingernail clam distribution was also highest in the Quiver Lake area with a mean maximum of 17,201.9 m -2 in 1952, reported by Paloumpis and Starrett (1960). Fingernail clams were virtually nonexistent in Lake Matanzas from 1993 to 2002 (Appendix C).…”

“…Twenty-six sites sampled by Paloumpis and Starrett (1960) in 1952-1954and Anderson (1977 in September 1975 were chosen to be resampled for the LTRMP (Appendix B). The highest concentration reported by Anderson (1977) for mayflies was 34.4 m -2 (site 523; SC) and for fingernail clams was 34.4 m -2 (site 524; SC; Appendix C).…”

“…More than half of the birds that use a lake may be airborne during the day or difficult to see at night. In previous studies, birds were counted on or near a lake or reservoir by species during the day (a) once per year (Gremillion & Malone, 1986), (b) 1-3 times mo-' for up to 4 y (Paloumpis & Starrett, 1960;Holden & Caines, 1974;Harris et al, 1981), (c) at 10-d intervals for 6 mo (Hayes & Caslick, 1984), and (d) at 2-h intervals, several days wk , for 1 y (Portnoy & Soukup, 1990). For greatest accuracy of nutrient loadings, birds should be counted most frequently during seasonal migrations when largest numbers use the lake or reservoir.…”

Nutrient additions by waterfowl to lakes and reservoirs: predicting their effects on productivity and water quality

1994

Lakes and reservoirs provide water for human needs and habitat for aquatic birds. Managers of such waters may ask whether nutrients added by waterfowl degrade water quality. For lakes and reservoirs where primary productivity is limited by phosphorus (P), we developed a procedure that integrates annual P loads from waterfowl and other external sources, applies a nutrient load-response model, and determines whether waterfowl that used the lake or reservoir degraded water quality. Annual P loading by waterfowl can be derived from a figure in this report, using the days per year that each kind spent on any lake or reservoir. In our example, over 6500 Canada geese (Branta canadensis) and 4200 ducks (mostly mallards, Anas platyrhynchos) added 4462 kg of carbon (C), 280 kg of nitrogen (N), and 88 kg of P y -to Wintergreen Lake in southwestern Michigan, mostly during their migration. These amounts were 69% of all C, 27% of all N, and 70% of all P that entered the lake from external sources. Loads from all external sources totaled 840 mg P m-2 y '. Application of a nutrient load-response model to this concentration, the hydraulic load (0.25 m y -'), and the water residence time (9.7 y) of Wintergreen Lake yielded an average annual concentration of total P in the lake of 818 mg m 3 that classified the lake as hypertrophic. This trophic classification agreed with independent measures of primary productivity, chlorophyll-a, total P, total N, and Secchi disk transparency made in Wintergreen Lake. Our procedure showed that waterfowl caused low water quality in Wintergreen Lake.

“…The complete diet of Glossiphonia is not known (Mann, 1962). Paloumpis and Starrett (1960) found that leech popula tions in Middle Quiver Lake, on the Illinois River, declined as small mollusc populations declined. Whether or not the relationship was causal was not established.…”
