Summary

Information on ecological changes during the last years of filling (1966-67) and early years of full impoundment (1968-70) of Lake Oahe, a large storage reservoir on the Missouri River, is needed to determine both short- and long-term effects of the water regimen and to interpret changes in fish production. This paper gives synoptic data and trends on water discharge, water level, sedimentation, turbidity, transmissivity, temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and plankton. Correlations indicate the nature of some apparent interactions between the plankton and certain of these environmental variables.
