Description

The primary aim of this study is to describe the water quality of five tidal creeks in Middle Arm at a time when development in the catchments of these creeks was relatively minor. Incorporated into the study was a comparison of data sampled from different locations within each creek to ascertain any longitudinal differences. This study was broken down into four separate investigations which aimed to: - 1. Measure natural variation in the physical properties of water quality. 2. Measure natural variation in nutrient concentrations in water. 3. Measure natural variation in phytoplankton biomass., Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).,
