  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
