Site Description |
|
| |
Lake Poso drains through the Poso river to the Mollucca Sea. The lake is an elongated north-south trending lake. The tectonic origin of this lake seems to have some correlation to lake Matano which is located in the southeast. Based on tectonic position, it is expected that the rim of the lake on some part are very steep.
The lake, with its over 400 m depth was weakly stratified (RTR 13.3). The lower hypolimnion was anoxic, but carbon dioxide concentrations did not exceed 5.3 mg/l. The lake seems to be oligotrophic, and transparency was of 4.8 metres. It has a good stock of silver and yellow eels and two endemic fish species, Adrianichtys kruyti and Xenopoecilus poptae species. The dominant algal species were Coccomyxa confluens and Krichneriella contorta.
There is also tourism fascilities near the lake.
