摘要

This study was conducted from April 1984 to February 1985 for the purpose of documenting water quality, fish population characteristics, and concentrations of metals and selected hydrocarbons in the Black River Lake-Cocodrie Lake area of Concordia Parish, La. Black River Lake and Cocodrie Lake are old oxbows of Black River that were isolated from the river when the Smithland Cutoff was completed in 1953.
