We address the significance of changes in summer thermal stratification patterns of Adirondack lakes affected by acidification to cold- water fish populations inhabiting these sensitive lakes. The brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) is the primary cold-water fish species indigenous to acid-sensitive lakes in the Adirondack region of northern New York State; the ability of these lakes to sustain this important sport species is highly dependent on the availability of adequate summer ...
'Liming' is the general term used for the addition of base neutralizing materials to acidic waters and soils. Various base-containing materials may be used, but limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is predominate in the major surface-water liming programs in the United States, Canada, and Scandinavia (Fraser and Britt 1982). Liming, in fact, has long been used to increase fish productivity in softwater and acidic ponds, lakes, and streams (e. g., Neess ...
