Title | Impacts of Eutrophication on Benthic Invertebrates & Fish Prey of Birds in Farmington and Bear River Bays of Great Salt Lake |
Creator | Armstrong, Trip Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. |
Description | Farmington Bay’s watershed is primarily in the heavily populated metropolitan Salt Lake City, and consequently, it receives approximately 50% of its inflow from nutrient‐ rich wastewater releases. The high nutrient loads make it eutrophic and reducing the loading has been suggested to reduce blooms of toxic cyanobacteria. However, the bay also supports thousands of wading birds and waterfowl, and there is concern that reducing nutrient inflows might reduce the production of bottom‐dwelling... |
