β¦ Synopsis
Analysis of weekly water samples taken at three depths from a nearshore station in Lake Ontario indicated significant (P>0 .05) relationships between particulate organic carbon (POC), total particulate nitrogen (TPN), chlorophyll a and total bacteria . Application of a stepwise multiple regression indicated that particulate organic carbon (POC) and temperature were the only two measured parameters that had significant effect on total bacterial numbers .

During the mixing period the lake was completely anaerobic; both predator and prey populations were found along the water colu
