Think about answering the questions: Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? Before your volunteers begin collecting data.

Record notes in your notebook  Record at least 5 facts/ideas in your notebook.  Write down and answer the following questions:  What are“benthic macroinvertebrates”?

Sisodiya Pond Zooplankton Brandon Carman Wes Baker Riker Weires

Objectives Obtain an estimate of zooplankton diversity and abundance in Sisodiya Pond Determine if Sisodiya pond could support a population of koi

Our Study Sites Site 1 Site 2

Methods Wisconsin Plankton Net Ekman Grab Sampler Lab Analysis

Wisconsin Plankton Net http://limnology.wisc.edu/blog/spring-blitz-global-collaboration-gets-to-the-bottom-of-plankton-diversity/p1000009/ http://el.erdc.usace.army.mil/zebra/zmis/zmishelp/vertical_plankton_tow.htm

Ekman Grab Sampler http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0808/0808.0447.pdf http://www.coleparmer.com/Product/Ekman_dredge_with_case_6_x_6_x_6_sample_area/EW-05470-00

Plankton Net Lab Analysis Formalin bath Clean samples Dilute sample to 80ml 2ml sub sample Counting dish Identification

Ekman Sampler Lab Analysis Formalin Bath Clean samples Counting dish Removed Organic Material Count and Identified Species

Plankton Net Results

Ekman Sampler Results

Plankton Net Sample Calanoids: ~10.88 ind./L Cyclopoids: ~ 1.94 ind./L Diaphanosma: ~ 0.06 ind./L Ceriodaphnia: ~ 0.14 ind./L Chaoborus: ~0.035 ind./L

Ekman Samples Chaoborus: ~22 ind./Sample Chrominids: ~ 27 ind./Sample Oligochaete: ~29 ind./Sample

Specimens from your pond! Chaoborus Calanoids

Interpretation Macroinvertebrates Fish Community Red Side Shiner Speckled Dace Visibility/Turbidity Secchi Depth = 5.08 cm http://www2.dnr.cornell.edu/cek7/nyfish/Cyprinidae/redside_dace.html https://www.nysm.nysed.gov/exhibits/longterm/fon/fon2006/index.html

Suggested Improvements Riparian Vegetation Willows Waterfowl Limiting In-Water Habitat Artificial Fish Structure

Riparian Vegetation Near Bank vegetation Waterfowl Reduction Increase Insect Productivity Bank Stabilization Ag. Runoff Reduction http://www.naturalheritage.state.pa.us/community.aspx?=30022

In-Water Habitat Predation Protection Artificial Koi Viewing Great Blue Heron Minks Artificial Long lasting Koi Proof Koi Viewing http://www.pondking.com/product-category/artificial-fish-habitat/

Conclusion Sisodiya pond could support a small population of koi with supplemental feeding Improvements would be needed May not be able to see fish due to turbidity
