                                FOREWORD

     Protection of the environment requires effective regulatory actions
which are based on sound technical and scientific information.   This
information must include the quantitative description and linking of
pollutant sources, transport mechanisms, interactions, and resulting  effects
on man and his environment.  Because of the complexities involved, assessment
of specific pollutants in the environment requires a total systems approach
which transcends the media of air, water, and land.   The Environmental
Monitoring and Support Laboratory-Las Vegas contributes to the  formation  and
enhancement of a sound monitoring data base for exposure assessment through
programs designed to:

              • develop and optimize systems and strategies for  monitoring
               pollutants and their impact on the environment

              • demonstrate new monitoring systems and technologies by
               applying them to fulfill special monitoring needs of the
               Agency's operating programs

     This report presents the species and abundance of phytoplankton  in the
13 lakes sampled by the National  Futrophication Survey in the State of
Idaho, along with results from the calculation of several commonly used
biological indices of water quality and community structure.  These data  can
he used to biologically characterize the study lakes, and as baseline data
for future investigations.  This report was written for use by  Federal,
State, and local governmental agencies concerned with water quality analysis,
monitoring, and/or regulation.  Private industry and individuals similarly
involved with the biological aspects of water quality will find the document
useful.  For further information contact the Water and Land Quality Branch,

                                 INTRODUCTION

     The collection and analysis of phytoplankton  data  were  included  in the
National Eutrophication Survey in an effort  to  determine  relationships between
algal characteristics and trophic status  of  individual  lakes.

     During spring, summer,  and fall of 1975, the  Survey  sampled  156  lakes in
11 States.  Over 450 algal  species and  varieties were  identified  and
enumerated from the 430 water samples examined.

     This report presents the species and abundance of  phytoplankton  in the
13 lakes sampled in the State of Idaho  (Table 1).  The  Myqaard's Trophic
State (Nygaard 1949), Palmer's Organic  Pollution  (Palmer  1969), and species
diversity and abundance indices are also  included.

                             MATERIALS AND METHODS
 LAKE AND SITE SELECTION

      Lakes and reservoirs included in the Survey were selected through
 discussions with State water pollution agency personnel  and U.S. Environmental
 Protection Agency Regional Offices (U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency
 1975).  Screening and selection strongly emphasized lakes with actual  or
 potential  accelerated eutrophication problems.  As a result,  the selection was
 limited to lakes:

      (1) impacted by one or more municipal  sewage treatment plant outfalls
          either directly into the lake or by discharge  to an  inlet tributary
          within approximately 40 kilometers  of the lake;

      (2) 40 hectares or larger in size;  and

      (3) with a mean hydraulic retention time  of at least 30  days.

 Specific selection  criteria  were waived  for  some lakes of particular State
 interest.

      Sampling  sites  for  a  lake  were  selected based  on available  information on
 lake  morphometry, potential  major sources of nutrient input,  and  on-site
 judgment of the  field  limnologist (U.S.  Environmental Protection  Agency  1975).
 Primary  sampling  sites were  chosen to  reflect  the  deepest  portion  of each
 major basin in a  test  lake.   Where many  basins were  present,  selection was
 guided by nutrient source  information  on hand.   At  each sampling  site, a
 depth-integrated  phytoplankton  sample was taken.   Depth-integrated samples
 were  uniform mixtures  of water  from the  surface  to  a depth of 15 feet
 (4.6  meters) or from the surface  to the  lower  limit  of the photic zone
 representing 1 percent of  the incident light, whichever was greater.  If the
 depth at the sampling  site was  less than 15 feet (4.6 meters), the sample was
 taken from just off the bottom  to the surface.   Normally,  a lake was sampled
 three times in 1 year, providing  information on  spring,  summer, and fall
 conditions.
SAMPLE PREPARATION

     To preserve the sample 4 milliliters (ml) of Acid-Lugol's  solution
(Prescott 1970) were added to each 130-ml sample from each site at  the  time  of
collection.  The samples were shipped to the Environmental  Monitoring and
Support Laboratory, Las Vegas, Nevada, where equal  volumes from each site

-------
 were  mixed  to  form  two  130-ml  composite  samples for a given lake.  One
 composite sample  was  put  into  storage  and the other was used  for the
 examination.

      Prior  to  examination,  the composite samples were concentrated by the
 settling  method.  Solids  were  allowed  to settle for at least  24 hours prior to
 siphoning off  the supernate.   The  volume of the removed supernate and the
 volume  of the  remaining concentrate were measured and concentrations
 determined. A small  (8-ml) library subsample of the concentrate was then
 taken.  The remaining concentrate  was  gently agitated to resuspend the
 plankton  and poured into  a  capped, graduated test tube.  If a preliminary
 examination of a  sample indicated  the  need for a more concentrated sample, the
 contents  of the test  tube were further concentrated by repeating the settling
 method.   Final  concentrations  varied from 15 to 40 times the  original.

      Permanent slides were  prepared from concentrated samples after analysis
 was complete.   A  ring of  clear Karo" corn syrup with phenol (a few crystals of
 phenol  were added to  each 100  ml of syrup) was placed on a glass slide.  A
 drop  of superconcentrate from the bottom  of the test tube was  placed in the
 ring.   This solution  was  thoroughly mixed and topped with a coverglass.  After
 the syrup at the  edges of the  coverglass had hardened, the excess was scraped
 away  and  the mount  was sealed  with clear fingernail polish.   Permanent diatom
 slides  were prepared  by drying sample  material on a coverglass, heating in a
 muffle  furnace at 400° C  for 45 minutes, and mounting in Hyraxfe.  Finally, the
 mounts  were sealed  with clear  fingernail polish.

      Backup samples,  library samples,  permanent sample slides, and
 Hyrax-mounted  diatom  slides are being  stored and maintained at the
 Environmental  Monitoring  and Support Laboratory-Las Vegas.


 EXAMINATION

      The  phytoplankton samples were examined with the aid of  binocular
 compound  microscopes.  A  preliminary examination was performed to precisely
 identify  and list all forms encountered.  The length of this  examination
 varied  depending  on the complexity of  the sample.  An attempt was made to find
 and identify all  of the forms  present  in each sample.  Often  forms were
 observed  which could  not  be identified to species or to genus.  Abbreviated
 descriptions were used to keep a record of these forms (e.g., lunate cell,
 blue-green  filament,  Navicula  #1).  Diatom slides were examined using a
 standard  light microscope.  If greater resolution was essential to accurately
 identify  the diatoms, a phase-contrast microscope was used.

      After  the species list was compiled, phytoplankton were  enumerated using
 a Neubauer  Counting Chamber with a 40X objective lens and a 10X ocular lens.
 All forms within  each field were counted.  The count was continued until a
 minimum of  100 fields had been viewed, or until the dominant  form had been
 observed  a  minimum  of 100 times.

QUALITY CONTROL

     Project phycologists performed internal  quality control intercomparisons
regularly on 7 percent of the species identification and counts.  Although an
individual had primary responsibility for analyzing a sample, taxonomic
problems were discussed among the phycologists.

     Additional quality control checks were performed on the Survey samples by
Dr. G. W. Prescott of the University of Montana at the rate of 5 percent.
Quality control checks were made on 75 percent of these samples to verify
species identifications while checks were made on the remaining 25 percent of
the samples to verify genus counts.  Presently, the agreement between quality
control checks for species identification and genus enumerations is
satisfactory.

-------
                                   RESULTS
     A phytoplankton species list for the State is presented in Appendix A.
Appendix B summarizes all  of the phytoplankton data collected from the State
by the Survey.  The latter is organized by lake, and includes an alphabetical
phytoplankton species list with concentrations for individual species given  by
sampling date.  Results from the application of several  indices are presented
(Nygaard's Trophic State,  Palmer's Organic Pollution, and species diversity
and abundance).   Each lake has been assigned a four-digit STORET number.
(STORET (STOrage and RETrieval) is the U.S.  Environmental  Protection Agency's
computer system which processes and maintains water quality data.)   The first
two digits of the STORET number identify the State; the last two digits
identify the lake.


NYGAARD'S TROPHIC STATE INDICES

     Five indices devised  by Nygaard (1949)  were proposed under the assumption
that certain algal groups  are indicative of levels of nutrient enrichment.
These indices were calculated in order to aid in determining the surveyed
lakes'  trophic status.  As a general rule, Cyanophyta, Euglenophyta, centric
diatoms, and members of the Chlorococcales are found in waters that are
eutrophic (rich in nutrients), while desmids and many pennate diatoms
generally cannot tolerate high nutrient levels and so are found in
oligotrophic waters (poor in nutrients).

     In applying the indices to the Survey data, the number of taxa in each
major group was determined from the species list for each sample.  The ratios
of these groups give numerical values which  can be used as a biological index
of water richness.  The five indices and the ranges of values established for
Danish lakes by Nygaard for each trophic state are presented in Table 2.  The
appropriate symbol, (E) eutrophic and (0) oligotrophic, follows each
calculated value in the tables in Appendix B.  A question mark (?) following a
calculated value in these  tables was entered when that value was within the
range of both classifications.


PALMER'S ORGANIC POLLUTION INDICES

     Palmer (1969) analyzed reports from 165 authors and developed algal
pollution indices for use in rating water samples with high organic pollution.
Two lists of organic-pollution-tolerant forms were prepared, one containing
20 genera, the other, 20 species (Tables 3 and 4).  Each form was assigned  a
pollution index number ranging from 1 for moderately tolerant forms to 6 for

extremely tolerant forms.   Palmer based  the index  numbers  on  occurrence
records and/or where emphasized by the authors  as  being  especially  tolerant  of
organic pollution.

     In analyzing a water sample, any of the 20 genera or  species of algae
present in concentrations  of 50 per milliliter  or  more are recorded.   The
pollution index numbers of the algae present are totaled,  providing a genus
score and a species score.  Palmer determined that a  score of 20 or more  for
either index can be taken as evidence of high organic pollution, while a  score
of 15 to 19 is taken as probable evidence of high  organic  pollution.  Lower
figures suggest that the organic pollution of the  sample is not high, that the
sample is not representative, or that some substance  or factor interfering
with algal persistence is present and active.


SPECIES DIVERSITY AND ABUNDANCE INDICES

     "Information content" of biological samples is being  used commonly by
biologists as a measure of diversity.  Diversity in this connection means the
degree of uncertainty attached to the specific identity of any randomly
selected individual.  The greater the number of taxa  and the more  equal  their
proportions, the greater the uncertainty, and hence,  the diversity  (Pielou
1966).  There are several  methods of measuring diversity,  e.g., the formulas
given by Brillouin  (1962) and Shannon and Weaver  (1963).  The method which  is
appropriate depends on the type of biological sample on hand.

     Pielou (1966)  classifies the types of biological samples and  gives the
measure of diversity appropriate for each type.   The Survey phytoplankton
samples are what  she classifies as larger samples (collections  in  Pielou's
terminology)  from which random subsamples can be  drawn.  According to Pielou,
the  average diversity per individual (H) for these types of samples can be
estimated from the  Shannon-Wiener formula  (Shannon and Weaver 1963):

                                S

                          H   =  -E P-
 where  P  is  the  proportion of the ith taxon in the sample, which is calculated
 from  ni/N;  n-j is  the  number of  individuals per rnilliliter of the ith
 taxon;  N is the total  number of individuals per ml; and S is the total number
 of taxa.   However,  Basharin (1959)  and  Pielou (1966) have pointed out that H
 calculated  from the subsample is a  biased estimator of the sample H, and if
 this  bias  is to be  accounted for, we must know the total number of taxa
 present  in  the  sample since the magnitude of this bias depends on it.

      Pielou (1966)  suggests that if the  number of taxa in the subsample falls
 only  slightly short of the number in the  larger sample, no appreciable error
 will  result in  considering S, estimated  from the subsample, as being equal to
 the sample  value.  Even though  considerable effort was made to find and
 identify all  taxa,  the Survey samples  undoubtedly contain a fair number of
 rare  phytoplankton  taxa which were  not  encountered.

-------
       In the Shannon-Wiener formula, an increase in the number of taxa and/or
 an increase in the evenness of the distribution of individuals among taxa will
 increase the average diversity per individual  from its minimal value of zero.
 Sager and Hasler  (1969) found that the richness of taxa was of minor
 importance in determination of average diversity per individual  for
 phytoplankton and they concluded that phytoplankton taxa in excess  of the 10
 to 15 most abundant ones have little effect on H.   This was verified by our
 own calculations.  Our counts are in number per mill il Her and since
 logarithms to the base 2 were used in our calculations, H is expressed  in
 units of bits per individual.  When individuals of a taxon were  so  rare that
 they were not counted, a value of 1/130 per milliliter or 0.008  per milliliter
 was used in the calculations since at least one individual  of the taxon must
 have been present in the collection.

      A Survey sample for a given lake represents a composite of  all
 phytoplankton collected at different sampling  sites on  the lake  during  a  given
 sampling period.  Since the number of samples  (M)  making  up a composite is a
 function of both the complexity of the lake sampled and its size, it should
 affect the richness-of-taxa component of  the diversity  of our phytoplankton
 collections.   The maximum diversity (MaxH)  (i.e.,  when  the individuals  are
 distributed among the taxa as evenly as possible)  was  estimated  from Iog2 S
 (Pielou 1966),  while the minimum diversity  (MinH),  was  estimated from the
 formula :


                MinH   -   -"*- -"1   ^
 given  by Zand (1976).   The  total  diversity  (D)  was  calculated from HN  (Pielou
 1966).   Also given  in  Appendix  B  are  L  (the mean  number of  individuals per
 taxa per milliliter) and  K  (the number  of individuals per milliliter of the
 most abundant taxon  in the  sample).

       The evenness component  of diversity (J) was estimated from H/MaxH
 (Pielou  1966).   Relative  evenness  (RJ)  was calculated from the formula:

                              _.   _   H-MinH
                              KJ   -
                                     MaxH-MinH
given by Zand  (1976).   Zand  suggests that RJ be used as a substitute for both
J and the redundancy expression given by Wilhm and Dorns (1968).  As pointed
out by Zand, the redundancy  expression given by Wilhm and Dorns does not
properly express what it is  intended to show, i.e., the position of H in the
range between  MaxH and  MinH.  RJ may range from 0 to 1; being 1  for the most
even samples and 0 for  the least even samples.

     Zand (1976) suggests that diversity indices be expressed in units  of
"sits"  1 e    in logarithms  to base S (where S is the total  number of taxa  in
the sample)'instead of  in "bits", i.e., in logarithms to base 2.  Zand  points
out that the diversity  index in sits per individual  is  a normalized number
ranging from 1 for the most evenly distributed samples  to 0  for  the least
evenly distributed samples.  Also, it can be used to compare different
samples, independent of the number of taxa in each.   The diversity in bits  per

-------
individual should not be used in direct comparisons involving various samples
which have different numbers of taxa.  Since MaxH equals log S,  the  expression
in sits is equal to logc S, or 1.  Therefore diversity in sits per
individual is numerically equivalent to J, the evenness component  for the
Shannon-Wiener formula.
SPECIES OCCURRENCE AND ABUNDANCE

  The alphabetic phytoplankton species list for each lake,  presented  in
Appendix B, gives the concentrations of individual  species  by sampling date.
Concentrations are in cells, colonies, or filaments (CEL,  COL,  FIL)  per
milliliter.  An "X" after a species name indicates  that  the species  identified
in the preliminary examination was in such a low concentration  that  it did  not
appear in the count.  A blank space indicates that  the organism was  not  found
in the sample collected on that date.  Column S is  used  to  designate  the
examiner's subjective opinion of the five dominant  taxa  in  a sample,  based

                 APPENDIX B.  SUMMARY OF PHYTOPLANKTON DATA
     This appendix was generated by computer.   Because it was  only  possible  to
use upper case letters in the printout, all  scientific names  are printed  in
upper case and are not italicized.

     The alphabetic phytoplankton lists include taxa without  species  names
(e.g., EUNOTIA, EUNOTIA #1, FLAGELLATE, FLAGELLATES, MICROCYSTIS INCERTA  ?,
CHLOROPHYTAN COCCOID CELLED COLONY).   When species determinations were  not
possible, symbols or descriptive phrases were  used to separate taxa for
enumeration purposes.   Each name on a list,  however, represents a unique
species different from any other name on the same list, unless otherwise
noted, for counting purposes.

     Numbers were used to separate  unidentified species of the same genus.   A
generic name listed alone is also a unique species.  A question mark  (9)  is
placed immediately after the portion  of a name which was assigned with
uncertainty.  Numbered, questioned, or otherwise designated taxa were
established on a lake-by-lake basis;  therefore NAVICULA #2 from lake  A  cannot
be compared to NAVICULA #2 from lake  B.  Pluralized categories (e.g.,
FLAGELLATES, CENTRIC DIATOMS, SPP.) were used  for counting purposes when  taxa
could not be properly differentiated  on the  counting chamber.
