PURPOSE:
Characterize the spatial and vertical distribution in Lake Erie of
i) benthic seed populations
ii) physico-chemical parameters (temperature, conductivity etc.) and major nutrients in water column
iii) primary productivity, carbon processing and bacterial activity
iv) algal nutrient and physiological status; toxins
v) phytoplankton, picoplankton and algal taxa; samples for DNA barcoding and metagenomic analyses
