St. Mary Lake Lake Field Water Quality

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 St. Mary Lake.

东库特尼入侵物种委员会（East Kootenay Invasive Species Council, EKISC）负责该区域内各类水体的入侵贻贝监测工作。研究人员使用浮游生物拖网（plankton tow net）在每个湖泊采集水样，以检测入侵性斑马贻贝（Zebra mussel）与夸加贻贝（Quagga mussel）的幼虫。所有采样水体均同步采集辅助数据，包括水温、pH值及塞氏深度（Secchi depth），此类数据均收录于本数据集之中。其中，优先级较高的湖泊（即临时到访人流量较大的湖泊）每月采样两次；而优先级较低的湖泊则于6月初至9月末期间每月采样一次。本数据集包含从圣玛丽湖（St. Mary Lake）采集的辅助数据。
