Importance Of Lake Windermere
Abstract
Lake Windermere :- A habitat to the Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus).
Windermere can be described as a glacial ribbon lake, which has experienced a lot of excavations and over deepening by past glaciations. Lake Windermere is (17 km) in length and over (1.5 km) in width. This is situated in the Lake District of Cumbria in the NW of England. It is (60 m) deep and falls withinthe wooded hills near Scafell and other mountains. Windermere is the largest lake in England. It is fed and replenished by some streams and rivers like Rothay, Brathay, Cunsey Beck, Trout Beck and several other smaller streams flowing into it. The lake is largely surrounded by foothills of the Lake District which provide pleasant low-level walks to the north and north-east are the higher fells of central Lakeland, Windermere is drained by the River Leven to Morecambe Bay. Its surface area spans to about roughly 15km2 and it is a unique lake divided into two by two basins, the south basins which a …show more content…
Most authorities across Europe have now agreed that stocks like these belongs to a single group of polymorphic species called theSalvelinus alpinus (L). This fish is given little protection in the Irish and British laws and there has been a steady and continual loss of its natural populations in recent years in most of the European countries including Britain.The arctic charr population in Windermere has steadily continuedto decline since the 1990. The Catch-Per-Unit-Effort (CPUE) data recorded in both basins has continued to show signified decrease, and the data collected in 2010 (north basin: 0.57 fish h-1) (south basin: 0.25 fish h-1), showed a decrease from the values recorded in 2009 (south basin: 0.89 fish h-1) (north basin: 0.98 fish
