Lake Koocanusa Field Water Quality (EKISC)

The East Kootenay Invasive Species Council (EKISC) conducts invasive mussel monitoring on various waterbodies across the region. A water sample is taken at each lake using a plankton tow net to test for invasive Zebra and Quagga mussel larva. Ancillary data including temperature, pH, and Secchi depth are taken at each water body and are shared in this dataset. Higher priority lakes (i.e., lakes that receive more transient use) are sampled twice per month, while lower priority lakes are sampled once per month from the beginning of June until the end of September. This dataset contains ancillary data collected from Lake Koocanusa.

东库特尼入侵物种委员会（East Kootenay Invasive Species Council, EKISC）负责对其管辖区域内的各类水体开展入侵贻贝监测工作。研究人员采用浮游生物拖网在每个湖泊采集水样，用于检测入侵性的斑马贻贝（Zebra Mussel）和纹隔贻贝（Quagga Mussel）幼虫。所有采样水体均同步采集温度、pH值以及赛氏盘透明度深度（Secchi depth）等辅助数据，此类数据均收录于本数据集。其中，优先级较高的湖泊（即接待更多临时到访人员的湖泊）每月采样两次；优先级较低的湖泊则从6月初至9月末每月采样一次。本数据集收录的辅助数据均采集自库卡努萨湖（Lake Koocanusa）。
