Toxicity of TFM (lampricide) to six early stages of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) Toxicity of TFM (lampricide) to six early stages of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
The lampricide TFM (3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol) was tested against the following life stages of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri): green eggs, eyed eggs, sac fry, swim-up fry, fry, and fingerlings in four water hardnesses (12, 44, 170, and 320 mg/liter as CaCO3). The eyed-egg stage was one of the most resistant stages tested, and the sac-fry stage was one of the least resistant...

Relation of channel slope to reaeration of Michigan streams Relation of channel slope to reaeration of Michigan streams
Reaeration coefficients (k2), which are rate constants for the process of oxygen absorption from the atmosphere, have been computed for Michigan's streams using an equation developed by Bennett and Rathbun (1972). Mean velocity and mean depth data, which are necessary for the computation, have been extracted from discharge measurements made at gaging stations throughout the State. The...

Glacial and postglacial geologic history of Isle Royale National Park, Michigan Glacial and postglacial geologic history of Isle Royale National Park, Michigan
Isle Royale was overridden by glacial ice during each of the four major glaciations of the Pleistocene Epoch, and each successive glaciation essentially obliterated all direct evidence of preceding glaciations on the island. In the waning phase of the last major glaciation, the Wisconsin Glaciation, the frontal ice margin retreated northward from at least the greater part of the Lake...

Hydrogeology of glacial drift, Mesabi Iron Range, northeastern Minnesota Hydrogeology of glacial drift, Mesabi Iron Range, northeastern Minnesota
Stratified fluvial sediments occur within the glacial drift at many places in the Mesabi Iron Range area. These sediments, which are important aquifers, occur extensively between the three main till units. The thickest and most extensive aquifer consists of glaciofluvial sediments that lie between the surficial till and the middle till unit, the bouldery till. Thickness of the...

Appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Little Falls area, Morrison County, Minnesota Appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Little Falls area, Morrison County, Minnesota
Anticipated irrigation on sandy soils has prompted evaluation of ground-water supply potential in the Little Falls area. Geologic conditions cause ground-water availability to vary widely in the area. The largest and most readily available groundwater source is the glacial outwash sand and gravel from which the soils were derived. Test augering shows that the saturated surficial outwash...
