Littoral macro-invertebrates and zooplankton Zooplankton Methods-Freddy Haberman Zooplankton Results-Jonathon Schriendel Macro-invertebrate Methods-Erin Landers Macro-invertebrate Results-Brita Olson Fish- Erin Landers

Methods: Zooplankton Samples

Zooplankton Sampling Methods Samples were taken from the deepest point in the pond Schindler Trap and Closing Plankton Net were used Closing Plankton Net was used to take full water column samples Frederick

Sampling Methods Cont. Schindler Trap was used to take samples from 3 different depths in the pond Surface, 0.5 & 1 meter depths Frederick

Zooplankton Analysis Each sample was poured in a gridded petri dish & examined under a dissecting microscope Organisms that were found during analysis were identified & counted Frederick

Results: Zooplankton Community

Full column zooplankton samples Jonathan

Discrete zooplankton samples Jonathan

Methods: Macro-invertebrate Littoral Samples

Sites 1 4 3 2

Materials Dip net Sieve stack and filter tubes Lots of DI water! Sample vials

Collection Methodology 4 sites 3- meter long pulls at each site Filter and collect Store until analysis

Lab Methodology Preserve samples with formalin Separate out a sub sample Identify and count macro-invertebrate organisms
