| Abstract | Aquatic total phosphorus (Tot-P) is measured at fish-cages in Lake Huron for environmental regulatory compliance. An improved understanding of how Tot-P is manifested in the near-field (≤30 m) water column relative to reference sites within the same water body, current movement and farm structures is required to help interpret sample results and refine monitoring protocols where necessary. The primary aim of this study is to investigate spatial and temporal concentrations of Tot-P at a commercial fish farm. A secondary aim investigates the utility of automated dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH monitoring to assist with Tot-P monitoring. Near-field TP at a commercial rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) cage-farm in the North Channel of Lake Huron was intensively sampled for six multi-day periods of differing environmental and fish production scenarios. Current profiles were measured by acoustical Doppler current profilers for five periods, and multi-probes continuously measured temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen, at the farm centre and 30 m north/south for two sampling periods. Near-field Tot-P data was non-normally distributed. Differences between parametric and non-parametric measures were minor. Phosphorus depth profiles appeared to be influenced by the locations of cages, manure collectors and the lake bottom. Near-field lateral Tot-P concentrations were elevated above background only in down-current locations except during one period of high production and slow current velocity; suggesting adequately flushed cages will have background concentrations at up-current locations. Variation of DO, pH and Tot-P and the correlations among these parameters, increased from the up-current, down-current and the site centre locations, respectively. These relationships suggest some limited utility for the use multi-probes deployed around fish cages to determine nutrient flow direction, thereby inferring short-term trends of Tot-P concentrations adjacent to the farm. Implications for present monitoring practices are discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
