Abstract: A study of the effectiveness of stream protection measures incorporated in an interior forest harvesting plan provided the opportunity to examine possible changes in the limnology and fish populations of a lake in a logged (Tumuch Lake) and unlogged (Shandy Lake) watershed. Sediment and nutrient loading were greater in the lake in the logged watershed compared to that in the unlogged watershed. Average light penetration during spring to early summer was greatly reduced as deforestation increased from 1.6% of the Tumuch Lake watershed in 1972 to 7.3% in 1974; Secchi disc readings in the inlet basin were frequently <2 m throughout May and June. Both primary production and algal biomass (chlorophyll a) were less in Tumuch Lake than in Shandy Lake, particularly in the Tumuch Inlet basin. Macro-zooplankton and benthos populations were generally less in both Tumuch Lake basins, although high annual variation of the zooplankton numbers was evident in both lakes. Growth rates of most salmonid fish, back-calculated fo
