plankton bloom depth - 08/03/18 01:58 AM
curious how deep down a typical plankton bloom is from the surface in a non aerated pond. i have a trash rack around my spillway pipe that is approx 8 ft down from the surface. right now the water flowing out the pipe is as green as my pond surface. so it has to be at least 8 ft deep of green bloom.
i have an extremely dense bloom now. last time i checked it was 18" on the secchi but i can tell it is way more green now. and to top it off we had about 5 inches of rain in the last 3 days. lots of flow thru right now, but it is still green.
