UNANSWERABLE
what kind of fish are in the great salt lake in utah UNANSWERABLE is it a freshwater lake or a saltwater lake? Salt water lake what could be the reason for the salinity of this water body? Most of the salts dissolved in the lake and deposited in the desert flats, lake's waters are slightly enriched in potassium and depleted in calcium. where exactly is this water body found? Northern part of the U.S. state of Utah how deep is this water body? In 1963 it reached its lowest recorded size at 950 square miles (2,460 km²), but in 1988 the surface area was at the historic high of . what are some of the biotic components found in this lake? Brine shrimp,  brine flies, and several forms of algae what is the approximate size of the first species mentioned? UNANSWERABLE was there a toxic metal detected in that lake? Yes,  high level of methylmercury what is the effect of the above compound in humans? Ingested methylmercury is readily and completely absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. It is mostly found complexed with free cysteine and with proteins and peptides containing that amino acid how does that toxic compound affect fish and wildlife? There has been increasing recognition that methylmercury affects fish and wildlife health, both in acutely polluted ecosystems and ecosystems with modest methylmercury levels was there any special bird found in near that lake? Wilson's phalarope, red-necked phalarope, American avocet, black-necked stilt, marbled godwit, snowy plover, western sandpiper, long-billed dowitcher, tundra swan, American white pelican, white-faced ibis, California gull, eared grebe, peregrine falcon, bald eagle how would you describe the appearance of that first avian species mentioned? It is a dainty shorebird with lobed toes and a straight fine black bill, its is is slightly larger than the red phalarope what do they feed on? Small insects or crustaceans

Wilson's phalarope [SEP] Ecology and status
Wilson's phalaropes are unusually halophilic (salt-loving) and feed in great numbers when on migration on saline lakes such as Mono Lake in California, Lake Abert in Oregon, and the Great Salt Lake of Utah, often with red-necked phalaropes. When feeding, a Wilson's phalarope will often swim in a small, rapid circle, forming a small whirlpool. This behaviour is thought to aid feeding by raising food from the bottom of shallow water. The bird will reach into the outskirts of the vortex with its bill, plucking small insects or crustaceans caught up therein. The typical avian sex roles are reversed in the three phalarope species.
