| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; OOZE HABITAT COMMUNITY the ooze habitat presently makes up 93 99 of the total habitat of utah lake depending on the water level by diking goshen and provo prove bays the total ooze habitat will be reduced by 32 diking goshen bay alone the ooze habitat reduction is 29 with alternative A 25 is lost and with alternative B 21 is lost animal communities the dominant organisms in the ooze communities are chironomids and oligochaetes the ooze community is very similar in structure and species composition throughout the lake diking will eliminate habitat but not species CHANGES IN SPECIES composition FROM DIKING algal species examination of all samples taken during the phase I 1 inventory stage of the utah lake project shows that a significant number of algal species collected from the lake are restricted to specific sections of the lake and often to a single habitat type in that part of the lake conversely many other species are cosmopolitan but narrow niched nichea occurring in all parts of the lake but in a single habitat type still other species are cosmopolitan as well as broadly niched nichea so that they occur in most or all habitat types in all parts of the lake most of the cosmopolitan species are not likely to be significantly affected by the diking of the lake however the restricted species could be strongly affected or eliminated this is particularly true of those species restricted to one or both of the bays table 3c ac 3 lists those nondiatom non diatom algae isolated to one major region of the lake fifty eight bight species are found only in the main body of the lake nineteen species are isolated in provo bay six in goshen bay and seven are f found in both bays but not in the main body of the lake 3 64 |
