    East Two River Calcium Loading Study: Headwaters to Lake Vermilion
    (University of Minnesota Duluth, 2017-02-17) Henneck, Jerald; Ruzycki, Elaine; Bernhardt, Beth
    This project is a component of the broader Lake Vermilion Zebra Mussel habitat assessment initiated by the Vermilion Lake Association (VLA), formerly known as the Sportsmen’s Club of Lake Vermilion. Project goals were (1) to quantify calcium concentrations and loads seasonally from East Two River into Lake Vermilion; and (2) determine how calcium concentrations change longitudinally in the lower reaches of East Two River before it discharges into Pike Bay of Lake Vermilion. As a bivalve mollusk, zebra mussels require a certain minimum concentration of calcium for shell growth and reproduction.
