National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Ecosystem Analysis of the Calcasieu River/Lake Complex (CALECO): Volume 3, Introduction, Executive Summary, Hydrology: Final Report, Sampling Dates: October 1983-August 1986.

DE88002685

Publication Date	1987
Personal Author	DeRouen, L. R.; Stevenson, L. H.; Beck, J. N.; Felley, J. D.; Gaston, G. R.
Page Count	407
Abstract	This document reports on research undertaken in an effort to understand the basic ecology of the Calcasieu River/Lake Complex and to evaluate the effects of human activities on that ecology. Part of the work involved surveying the Calcasieu Estuary for the presence of anthropogenic substances as well as analyses of the effects of human activities on the biotic communities within the estuary. Routine sampling locations were located throughout the estuary from the salt water barrier on the Calcasieu River north of Interstate 10 to the mouth of the system at Cameron. Station designations and descriptions together with latitude and longitude are given. The impacts of land use on the estuary were investigated through seven major substudies: (1) Water Quality and Special Pollutants; (2) Chemistry; (3) Primary Producers; (4) Zooplankton; (5) Benthos; (6) Nekton; and (7) Hydrology. The findings of each substudy are presented in separate chapters (1 through 7). Volume 1 contains chapters 1 and 2. Volume 2 contains chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6. Volume 3 contains chapter 7. Volume 4 contains appendices. Each chapter was processed separately for the Energy Data Base. (ERA citation 13:012580)
