註釋As part of the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) long range transport of airborne pollutants biomonitoring program, a volunteer-based project known as the Ontario Lakes Loon Survey (OLLS) was expanded in 1987 to study the effects of lake acidification on Common Loon reproduction in Ontario. Data were collected on 491 and 458 lakes in 1987 and 1988 respectively. After combining lakes surveyed in 1988 with those that were surveyed only in 1987, there were 387 lakes with reliable data on loon reproductive success. This paper reviews some of the major results from surveys done in 1987 and 1988, discusses the value of the OLLS as a tool for monitoring loon production in relation to acid rain in Ontario, and identifies areas which must be improved prior to incorporation into the overall CWS biomonitoring program.
