This study was conducted to determine how the composition and amounts of drift vary with the following conditions: 1) ice cover with vessel traffic; 2) ice cover without vessel traffic; 3) ice free with vessel traffic. Samples were taken with drift nets anchored at four locations (Brush Point, Frech...
