Phytoplankton identification and enumeration data during an algal bloom in Kabetogama Lake, northern Minnesota, 2023
This data release provides phytoplankton identification and enumeration data during an algal bloom at Ash River boat docks on Kabetogama Lake (USGS site ID 482603092511801) collected between September 12 and September 13, 2023. samples were collected every three hours over a 24-hour period at two sites, one at the end of a dock and one on the adjacent shoreline. Two quality assurance replicates were collected. Additionally, nine algal bloom samples were collected from an isolated chamber located near the shoreline sampling location in an effort to reduce variability caused by potential wave action in the lake. Phytoplankton composition was determined through microscopy.
