Turnover

I found a nifty Disolved Oxygen table. Of course it doesn't allow for decay of organic materiaal but only for optimun dissolved oxygen at various temps. I will post a temperature conversion chart in a few minutes.

Table 1

Solubility of Oxygen (mg/L) at Various Temperatures and Elevations

(Based on Sea Level Barometric Pressure of 760 mm Hg)

Strawhat, I can not explain what is happening right now. With so little water inflow and high water temps, the lake is acting like it is stagnant. Not yet a turnover. Wonder what the big boys at Mo Dept of Conservation have to say about this. Maybe they don't know or they would have said something by now.

Obviously I am not sure either. If I had a temperature profiler (a thermometer with a long cord, say 50') and a dissolved oxygen meter it wouldn't take me very long to find out what is going on but I don't have access to those things anymore. Your suggestion about contacting the Mo. Dept. of Conservation is a good one. I have talked to the new bioligist for Stockton a couple of times but can't remember his name. I will try to dig it up and give him a call next week. He certainly would have access to the right equipment. I know he loves his walleye program and oxygen depletion is really hard on walleye populations so he would probably be concerned.
