Baseline data available on the Muskeg River hydrology, benthic invertebrates, plankton and fish are generally useful, but additional information is desireable
Resource
The present volume evaluates the 1980 monitoring program, and makes suggestions for the conduct of future monitoring studies on the Muskeg River and elsewhere in the AOSERP area
