Acknowledgements: These investigations have been funded by the Israeli Ministry of  National Infrastructures. The pioneering work of Dr. Artur Hecht, Dr. David A. Anati, and Gad Brokman, often carried out under the most arduous conditions, was seminal to the disciplined study of this hypersaline lake. Constant support of Jonah Mouwes and Dani Ramot in development and maintenances of electronic equipment are very appreciated. All scientists are grateful to captain Moti Gonen and his crew on the Vessel "Tiulit" and Vessel "Eshet Lot" without  whom this monitoring could not have been carried out.
