Summary

The dimensions of each organism were measured with a Whipple grid and the biovolume was estimated using the simplest geometric shape (e.g., cylinder, cone, sphere, etc.) that best fit the shape of each taxon. Shapes were assigned according to Hillebrand et al. (1999). Biovolume was calculated for the first five organisms/counting units of each taxon identified in a sample. The average biovolume was then used to calculate total biovolume of each taxon in the sample.

Purpose

The purpose of the study was to examine spatial and temporal dynamics of phytoplankton communities in the Upper Mississippi River, Navigation Pools 8, 13, and 26. Samples were collected from the main channel, backwater and impounded areas of Navigation Pools 8 and 13. Samples were only collected from the main channel of Navigation Pool 26. All samples were collected between 2006-2009.
