| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; occuring curing occurring oc in this zone even though we have not measured primary or secondary productivity on the rocky substrates in utah lake standing crop is very high in these areas it is our opinion that the productivity in the littoral region of utah lake is higher than in most other lakes and reservoirs in western north america shoreline sand and ooze communities nondiatom Non diatom species are much less important in the sand and ooze communities of utah lake than in either the rocky communities or plankton various species of filamentous bluegreen blue green algae occur in low numbers in addition several planktonic algae fall out on to the sand and ooze communities the floras of the ooze habitat are influenced primarily by this fallout fewer diatom species are resident there than in other littoral habitats diatoms in the sand and ooze communities are more abundant than nondiatoms non diatoms and are responsible for the majority of the algal biomass found in these areas even so the density is not nearly as high as it is on the littoral rocks and hardpan this is to be expected since the sandy and ooze communities are unstable and not conducive to the development of large amounts of biomass diatoms in these sand and ooze communities are different from those attached to rocks in the same vicinity they contain a relatively high number of species which may be native to those communities or introduced from the plankton the centric diatom cyclotella meneghiniana meneghin iana is common other species are mostly pennate diatoms which are common to many eutrophic systems the genera navicula and nitzschia are abundant the species collected in these regions are more seasonal than those on the littoral rocks epiphytic communities both diatoms and nondiatoms non diatoms are abundant attached to the stems and leaves of emergent aquatic vascular plants such attached algae are 2 52 |
