Some Physico-Chemical And Biological Aspects Of Three Cold Tailwaters In Northern Arkansas
Physico-chemical factors, plankton, benthic macroinvertebrates, and fishes occurring in cold tailwaters below Beaver, Bull Shoals, and Norfork dams in northern Arkansas, were sampled regularly from July, 1965, through December, 1966. Physico-chemical conditions were similar in the three tailwaters throughout the study. The older tailwaters below Bull Shoals and Norfork dams were more productive than the Beaver tailwater in both phytoplankton and zooplankton. The greatest number of genera of plankton occurred in the Beaver tailwater, and the Bull Shoals tailwater had the least number...
