We could not get a Dissolved Oxygen reading on the Hach meter at 0.5 meter depth; the meter read “out of range”. when reading was repeated, the result was identical.

A dead cormorant was floating in the water at the test site when we arrived. 

When taken from the water, it was found to be entangled in fishing line.
