Abstract

Five sites on the shores of Lake Kashagawigamog were sampled in the fall of 2019 to determine the community composition of the benthic macroinvertebrate communities of the lake. Results were inconclusive, but revealed that there is likely some form of disturbance taking place within the lake. The report recommends additional years of sampling take place in order to determine the health of the lake with greater certainty.
