Methods

  • Past Methods (no longer in use)
    • Unnamed Method
      • Started: 1993-04-01
        Ended: 1995-10-03
      • Method Description: Efforts were made to seek out and sample all littoral habitat types at each lake- silt-muck, sand, gravel-cobble-rock, organic detritus, logs and submergent and emergent vegetation. The littoral zone was sampled because it should yield the greatest number of species, the most valued fish food organisms, is less influenced by other natural limiting factors than the profundal zone, and was a zone common to all the lakes.

    • Unnamed Method
      • Started: 1993-04-01
        Ended: 1995-10-03
      • Method Description: Sampling from different habitats on Branch, Bourn and Little Mud Ponds in May.

    • Unnamed Method
      • Started: 1993-04-01
        Ended: 1995-10-03
      • Method Description: Sampling from different habitats in Lye Brook Meadows in July.

    • Unnamed Method
      • Started: 1993-04-01
        Ended: 1995-10-03
      • Method Description: Ekman dredge samples collected from both profundal and sub-littoral areas of Branch and Bourn Ponds and from sub-littoral only at Little Mud Pond.

    • Unnamed Method
      • Started: 1993-04-01
        Ended: 1995-10-03
      • Method Description: All lakes were sampled qualitatively for at least one hour in the spring, summer and fall.

    • Unnamed Method
      • Started: 1993-04-01
        Ended: 1995-10-03
      • Method Description: Seven sites on four streams sampled annually for three years.

    • Unnamed Method
      • Started: 1993-04-01
        Ended: 1995-10-03
      • Method Description: Fall sampling using standardized kick-net sampling techniques with VT DEC field protocols.

Sampling Equipment

  • Net, strainers, forceps
    • Started: 1993-04-01
      Ended: 1995-10-03
    • Sampling Description: large D-frame sweep net, stiff strainers, and forceps were used for collecting.

Site Characteristics

  • Site Description: Lake elevations range from 2303 to 2632 feet. Stream elevations range from 840 to 2161 feet.



  • Site Description: In and around the Lye Brook Wilderness Area in the towns of Manchester, Sunderland, and Winhall.
