Abstract
The report contains physical, chemical, and biological information collected on 43 Maine lakes during the 1975 calendar year. Methods for the collection and analysis of the hydrologic data are outlined.
Physical characteristics listed include drainage area, surface area, surface elevation, volume, maximum depth, mean depth, epilimnion depth, epilimnion volume, and length of shoreline. Water-quality analysis are listed or up to 27 parameters of the lake-sample sites and 5 parameters on flowing tributaries. Biological analyses include phyto-plankton data for 4 of the study lakes, zooplankton data for 4 of the study lakes, benthic macroinvertebrate data for 25 of the study lakes, and bacterial data for lake tributaries.
