Lake Erie’s bottom-dwelling fish hit with low oxygen
Published: , in Outdoor News
On July 9, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a bulletin stating “Hypoxic bottom waters have been identified in the Western Basin (of Lake Erie) on both the Ohio and Canadian sides. Persistent light winds will maintain the hypoxic bottom waters.”
Normally, as opposed to waters of the Central Basin below the thermocline, the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the entire water column of the Western Basin remain adequate to support a wide range of aquatic organisms.
