The biota, chemistry, and physical regimens of
Fontenelle Reservoir and the Green River were
sampled from 1965 to 1967. When full, the
reservoir had a chemical stratification, but no
thermocline. Bottom waters were nearly anaerobic
with relatively high carbon dioxide concentra-
tions. Mougeotia and cladocera,~s were the
principle planktors, Tendipidae the principle
bottom organisms, and several species of aquatic
plants (Elodea, Potamogeton, and Myriophyllum)
became well established in the reservoir shoal
areas after drawdown. Rainbow and brown trout
comprised 25% of the fish fauna. Salmonid
numbers were decreasing, while cyprinids and
catostomids were increasing.
