WQ: Turbidity MDEP Stormflow Study Summary 2000-2002 |
|
Caption: This chart shows the minimum, mean, and maximum turbidity concentrations measured during the Maine Department of Environmental Protection WQM Program's 2000-2002 stormflow study. Arter (2004) notes: "Even moderate turbidity may affect a fish#s ability to find food. Impaired visibility for an extended period (>2 weeks in the 1-3 NTU range) may be moderately stressful to juvenile and adult salmon (Newcombe & Jensen, 1996)." See Info Links for more information.
