Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lakes that have low concentrations of organic nutrients are called oligotrophic. They have clear water, low productivity, and low population density of algae and other plants. These lakes are often deep and have rocky shores. As a result, they have limited sources of nutrients, and biological activity is generally limited to the lake's surface.
