United States Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Research Laboratory Duluth MN 55804 Research and Development EPA-600/S3-83-092 Nov. 1983 Project Summary An Annotated Bibliography of Environmental Research Conducted Within the St. Louis River Estuary 1903-1982 P. DeVore The purpose of this project was to compile and review all of the physical, biological, and chemical studies conducted within the confines of the St. Louis River estuary and to present the results in an annotated bibliog- raphy. In order to compile a thorough bibliography, efforts were made to locate even obscure studies performed in the study area. The resulting document covers the years 1903- 1982. It is anticipated with increased interest in the environmental impacts of future developments within the estuary scientific studies will continue. This bibliography is meant to serve as a tool for future studies. It is thus intended to serve as a reference for individuals attempting to locate specific types of studies conducted within the St. Louis River estuary. This Project Summary was developed by EPA's Environmental Research Lab- oratory, Duluth. MN. to announce key findings of the research project that is fully documented in a separate report of the same title (see Project Report order- ing information at back). Introduction Manuscripts and publications were reviewed for content, not for results. Each review includes the study dates, specific analyses conducted, and the location within the estuary. All reviews are indexed by subject classes: benthos, birds, fish, fish contaminants, microbiology, physical processes. phytoplankton, sediment chemistry, vegetation, water quality, and zooplankton. This bibliography generally does not include secondary references such as many of the International Joint Commission and Great Lakes Commission summary reports. As future reports are available this bibliography will be updated. ------- P. DeVore is with the University of Minnesota, Duluth, MN 55812. A. R. Carlson is the EPA Project Officer (see below).
