Macro-vertebrates 2017

As you can see on the chart above there were 13 stonefly nymphs, mayfly nymphs were 22, caddisfly larvae 6, blackfly larvae 25. Stonefly, mayfly, and caddisfly are very sensitive, this means that the water is good For any macroinvertebrate to live in site one.

pH Site 3 2017

This chart show the results of Site #3’s PH test we took this test 3 different times the first time we got 7.0. The second time we got 8.0 and the third time we got 7.5. OUr average was 7.5. Our results are supposed to be around 7.0 and we got 7.5 so our water is healthy.

Temperature 2017

Steelhead,pink chum, coho sockeye,

Chinook, rainbow and brown trout, and many more things can live in 50 degree water

As you can see from this chart on our first temp check we got 49 on our second test we got  50 and the last test showed 52 and our average was 50 degrees fahrenheit

Conclusion

The conclusion my group made was that the water at site #3 is healthy me and my group came to this conclusion because of two reasons

Reason one, on our second trip the one about dissolved oxygen test our results were that it took 13 drops to turn water clear after a  little math we concluded that the water had 110% of dissolved oxygen in the creek  this means the water is good.

The last reason is that when looking at the macro invertebrates we had recorded on our last trip we saw that we had things that can’t live in poluted water this group included if it is bad so in conclusion the water is good.

After all that evidence you can see why my group thought that we had good water so in conclusion the water at site #3 is good.

Macro Invertebrates 2017

This chart shows the % of each type of bug we got at site #3 during our macro invertebrate. We got 1 mayfly, 7 stoneflies, 10 caddisflies, 1 dobsonfly, and 1 salmonfly.

Disolved Oxygen

In our  dissolved oxygen test we got 110% of oxygen in the water is normal in a creek Trout, Salmon, Bluegill, Bass, Carp, Perch, Muskie, Walleye, Pike, and Bacteria can all survive in this water.

This is a Pike!
