 Lower Potomac River Basin Report
Based on the results of 1995 MBSS sampling, the major impacts to streams in the Lower Potomac River basin appear to be low dissolved oxygen levels, acid deposition, nitrogen enrichment, impaired instream habitat, fish migration barriers, and bank instability.
The dominant fish species in the Lower Potomac River basin is the highly acid tolerant eastern mudminnow (38% of the total assemblage, or 1.3 million fish).
Thus, the streams in the Lower Potomac River basin may be important nursery areas which support fisheries in larger streams and the oligohaline portions of the Potomac River estuary.
