average metrics for lake trout collected in 2017 (± standard error of
mean), (c) zooplankton population metrics, including total abundance,
richness, Shannon Weiner diversity index (H’), and Shannon’s
equitability (EH), and (d) average water quality
parameters (± standard error of mean) (TDN = total dissolved nitrogen,
TDP = total dissolved phosphorus).
