For research purposes and ecological assessment. Data were collected by Dr Ruth Little and Dr Gary Free under a research project funded by the EPA
Two-minute kick sample for the lake littoral, preserved in IMS and counted and identified to the highest taxonomic resolution possible/practical.
Republic of Ireland
Survey carried out during spring and summer 2001-2003
Overall good quality data. Several taxa were grouped to Genus to ensure compatibility for analysis.
The Dataset is complete and has been used in the publication: Free, G., Little, R., Tierney, D., Donnelly, K., Caroni, R., 2006. A reference based typology and ecological assessment system for Irish lakes. Preliminary investigations. 266pp. EPA, Wexford, Ireland. Future publications are planned by the authors of the report.
