Abstract
Summer hydrography and biota of a Nova Scotian brown-water lake are described. A bloom of a dinoflagellate was noted. Zooplankton was plentiful. With a range in pH of 4.3 to 4.8, mollusks were absent. Chaoborus dominated in the poor bottom fauna. Standing crop of fish was low at 19 kg per ha. Yellow perch were most numerous, exhibiting a decline in growth rate to age III, then increasing when the fish reached a size to be piscivorous. Fish-cultural implications are briefly discussed.
