Abstract
Streams in a rather rocky and barren region in Nova Scotia were found to have almost no algae and fish except in relation to farm operations. Placing of bags of chemical fertilizer along the shore was followed in a year or two by increased quantities of algae and fish downstream, the maximum effect only 150 yards away. It is concluded that fertilizing materials are held locally in flowing water in relation to finely divided bottom material, as with soils.
