Benthic macroinvertebrate assessment of Kabakwa lake
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Kabakwa Lake’s 2023 Benthic Macroinvertebrate Water Quality Assessment was completed as part of an aquatic biomonitoring program by U-Links in conjunction with Kabakwa Lake owners, such as Bill Forbes. The 2023 visitation was the third year of sampling, which contributed to the long-term dataset required to determine water quality trends. Benthic macroinvertebrates (hereafter, benthos) are invertebrates that spend most or all of their lives in water which can make them susceptible to organic pollution (Jones et al., 2006; Borisko et al, 2007). Benthos in conjunction with water chemistry data can be used to access the health of a lake (Carbone et al, 1998).
This summary seeks to provide stakeholders with a preliminary indication of the health of Kabakwa Lake (hereafter, Kabakwa). This is done though explaining what the benthos community assemblage infers about the current water quality of Kabakwa. The objectives for 2023 include (1) collecting benthos through a modified OBBN sampling protocol; (2) identifying collected benthos in lab and sorting them into OBBN groupings; (3) quantifying each group using metrics to determine abundance, richness, and diversity; (4) interpreting the results to provide an assessment of Kabakwa’s water quality.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The purpose of this project is to collect benthic macroinvertebrate (also referred to as “benthics”or “benthos”) data to determine the health of Kabakwa Lake. Benthos are small spineless organisms that reside on the bottom of water bodies among sediments and aquatic plants. Due to their fairly stationary nature, they live most, if not all of their lives in the same area on the lake bottom close to shores. This makes them ideal indicator species as they are heavily influenced by organic and inorganic pollution and disturbances in the water. Benthos provide insight into the current state of water and habitat quality and can be measured every year to determine trends in lake health. 2022 marks the second year of sampling on Kabakwa Lake.
The benthos community counts are input into select indices (percent EOT and Simpson's Diversity Index) to identify yearly trends and to calculate the health of the water.
This project is being completed in partnership with the Halls and Hawks Property Owners
Association (HHPOA). It is hoped that the data collected on the sites contributes to the proper management of the lakes and their ongoing health.

Benthic Biomonitoring
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In Kabakwa Lake of Haliburton, Ontario, benthic invertebrate samples were collected via Ontario Benthos Biomonitoring Network protocol. The purpose of collecting benthic macroinvertebrates was to contribute to a long-term benthos biomonitoring program. Long-term benthic collections for Kabakwa Lake were collected for the first time for 2021. Benthic collections provide insight on the present water quality and if the waterbody is affected by pollution. These can then help build management actions to prevent further contamination of the sites.
