Abstract

During the summer of 1939 a series of samples was taken in the deeper part of Irondequoit Bay as a part of the general Biological Survey of the Lake Ontario Watershed conducted by the New York Conservation Department (Tressler and Austin, 1940). The results of this mid-August sampling indicated a high degree of productivity and extreme stagnation conditions, which prompted the continuation of these studies during the following year. An extensive program of independent investigation was begun in September 1939 and was continued at monthly intervals until June 1940, when all three authors moved permanently from the state and as a consequence the work had to be discontinued. The present paper deals with the seasonal cycle in the bay from August 15, 1939, to June 13, 1940.
