Abstract: Results of a cooperative survey of the central and eastern basins of Lake Erie in 1928-29 by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, New York State Conservation Department, Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries, Health Department of the City of Buffalo, and the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences are presented in a series of papers. Physicochemical data include seasonal, vertical, and horizontal variations in temperatures, water movements, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, phenolphthalein and methyl-orange alkalinity, pH, chlorides, and turbidity. The species composition, seasonal abundance, and distribution of micro- and macroplankton are discussed in detail. Special consideration is given to the influence of polluted river waters which flow into the lake. It is concluded that the lake is remarkably free from chemical and sewage pollution. Evidence of pollution farther than 1 mile from possible sources was detected at only 2 stations. The nutrient level of Lake Erie is high and the lake should support large fish populations.

Excerpt from Limnological Survey of Eastern and Central Lake Erie, 1928-29 The western section, which comprises less than one -eighth of the total area, has a maximum depth of 15 meters. A natural barrier formed by points ex tending from the two shores and two islands (kelly Island and Pelee Island) separates this body of water from the rest of the lake. The waters of the Detroit, Maumee, and Sandusky rivers enter the lake in this area. The middle two -thirds of the lake forms a second section extending from the islands to a shoal having a minimum depth of 13 meters and extending north and south across the lake just west of the 25-meter contour line, in the vicinity of Erie, Pa. This area, the widest part of the lake, forms a broad shallow basin with a maximum depth of 26 meters in its western portion. The greater part of the floor, some times referred to as the Great Plain, is exceptionally even. No major rivers enter here.
