  abstract = {{T}ransparent exopolymer particles ({TEP}) are widely recognized to promote sediment aggregation in eutrophic environments. {F}locculation in presence of {TEP} of various suspended sediment concentrations of material sampled on the bank of the {C}am {R}iver was quantified at the laboratory for turbulence level consistent with slack water and mid ebb conditions measured in the {C}am {R}iver estuary during dry season of 2009. {S}tickiness and concentrations of {TEP} were let to naturally fluctuate by incubation (aging in the dark) for up to nine days. {W}e found that the impact of turbulence on overall buoyancy of {TEP}-governed aggregation was always opposite between slack water and mid ebb conditions for any duration of incubation; always negative for slack water conditions but for 126 hours of incubation and significantly negative for mid ebb conditions but for 126 hours of incubation. {S}uspended sediment concentration ({SSC}) consistently limited aggregates buoyancy, negative or positive. {W}e propose a conceptual model that relates measured and inferred parameters to observed hydrosedimentary processes.},
