Appendix (continued)
Fishes
The following list is taken from O. L. Wallis, 1966, Long Range Aquatic Resources Management Plan, Isle Royale National Park, 1966-1975.
Oligotrophic lakes are deep, cold, and clear, with low nutrient levels and small amounts of plankton (microscopic plants and animals). Eutrophic lakes are shallower (to 10 feet), warm, and colored, with high nutrient levels, abundant plankton, and much aquatic vegetation. Dystrophic lakes are the shallowest (usually less than 5 feet), warm, and brown, with high nutrient levels, abundant plankton, and vegetation established in the shallow water around the entire shore.
Where a species has been recorded in only one lake of a given biological type, that lake is named. A dot indicates that it has been found in more than one lake of that type.
