A large compressed air system was used to artifically circulate Corbett Lake to prevent winter kill of rainbow trout. After 2 autumns of operation this line- release system was replaced with a much smaller compressor using a different means (point-release) of releasing air in the lake. The smaller system was tested in 3 different configurations and compared with the original unit.
Total oxygen content was greatly increased when the point-release circulator was operated without a 2 ft. diameter vertical pipe. Without the pipe the point-release system circulated the entire lake as well as did the line-release unit, was easier to install and less costly to operate.
