| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; anabaena are patchy and the fish are aple able apie able abie to moye move poye move to argas areas argys areas with lower algal abundance the important nondiatom non diatom open water algal community in utah lake is dominated by the bluegreen blue green species aphanizomenon flos fios aglae aquae aguae IV 22.53 2253 and anabaena spir spi sui sul spiroldes spiroides roides oldes oides var crassa IV 3.17 317 and the green alga ankistrodesmus convolutus IV 2.68 268 historically anabaena spiroides spi roides var vat crassa has been more important than it was during phase I 1 studies as has the bluegreen blue green alga microcystis macrocystis Micro cystis aeruginosa in addition during some years the dinoflagellate ceratium hirundinella hirun dinella is much more abundant than it was during the present studies the reasons for these fluctuations are not known As with the diatom floras diking will not change the nondiatom non diatom flora appreciably large blooms of bluegreen blue green algae will continue to occur in the main body of the lake during late summer and fall furthermore it is likely that aphanizomenon flos fios aquae aguae aglae will remain the dominant non diatom phytoplankton species with anabaena spiroides spi roides var crassa anabaena flos fios aquae aguae aglae microcystis macrocystis Micro cystis aeruginosa and others being subdominant however this is difficult to ascertain since during some years in the immediate past the dominant species have switched so that the anabaena species became more abundant and aphanizomenon decreased the increased nutrient load added to the lake due to the diking of provo bay will have pronounced effects upon the nondiatom non diatom planktonic floras of utah lake this would have the effect of increasing the abundance of bluegreen blue green algae during bloom conditions at least in local areas of the lake this has been discussed to some extent by fuhriman et al 1975 who suggested that if provo bay is diked biked the water entering into utah lake via provo bay should be treated OPEN WATER zooplankton communities since all zooplankton species presently in utah lake are found in all lake segments it is doubtful that any species will be eliminated 352 3 52 |
