Assessment of macrophytes and sediment depth accumulation at
OX Ranch

Outline•Rationale and study area
•Methods
•Results from data
•Recommendations for macrophyte control
![Page 3: Heath Korell Jenna Davis Nick Porter Sean Taylor](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5681671e550346895ddb9e06/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Rationale•Severe overgrowth of macrophyte species
•Natural Eutrophication
•Could lead anoxic conditions
•Potential for fish kill

Implications/Recommendations•Raking
▫Create macrophyte channels for habitat (Olson et. al, 1998)
▫$495.00▫5 ft. Wide
![Page 16: Heath Korell Jenna Davis Nick Porter Sean Taylor](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5681671e550346895ddb9e06/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
•Use a Biological Control▫Triploid Grass Carp
Herbivore•Cost
▫8-9 fish▫$10-$20/ fish▫Permit to import carp $23.50
•Carp must be certified triploid•Certified free of Asian Tapeworm
