A chemical and biological study was made of the lagoon for a period of 9 months previous to the addition of 60 tons of copper ore. Comparison with a similar study made after the addition of the ore revealed that the ore did not have the desired qualities of control; therefore its use for control was not recommended.ecologyestuarieslagoonscopperalgal bloomsbiological controlpopulation controlBook
