Description:
This study investigated the status of fish communitiesin 12 naturally acid Florida lakes. The small, shallowlakes were located in the Ocala National Forest, the TrailRidge, and panhandle Florida; regions where lakes have lowacid neutralizing capacities and are considered sensitive tofurther acidification from anthropogenic sources.Fifteen species from seven families were capturedduring mark-recapture sampling. Warmouth (Lepomis gulosus)was the only cosmopolitan species in the study. Bluegill(Lepomis macrochirus) and largemouth bass (Micropterussalmoides), collected from 11 and 10 lakes, respectively,were also widely distributed species. Total fish abundanceand biomass were not related to lake pH or total alkalinity.(Document has 202 pages)
