A review of nontraditional biomanipulation.
The aim of this review is to identify problems, find general patterns, and extract recommendations for successful management using nontraditional biomanipulation to improve water quality. There are many obstacles that prevent traditional biomanipulation from achieving expectations: expending largely to remove planktivorous fish, reduction of external and internal phosphorus, and macrophyte re-e...
متن کاملPredicted impact of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) invasion on water clarity in Lake Mendota
Lake Mendota, which is plagued by periodic cyanobacterial blooms, is typical of many lakes in the Laurentian Great Lakes region that are vulnerable to zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) but have yet to be invaded. We coupled removal estimates with chlorophyll production estimates in a dynamic model to predict the likely impact of mussel-mediated removal of phytoplankton on water clarity acros...
متن کاملBiomanipulation of lake ecosystems: an introduction
1. This paper is an introduction to a special issue of Freshwater Biology containing selected papers from an international symposium on Food Web Effects of Fish in Lake Ecosystems: Research Progress, Water Quality and Fisheries Management held from 31 May to 3 June 2000 in Rheinsberg, Germany. The primary goal of the workshop was to enlarge the current view of fish-induced effects on lake ecosy...
متن کاملInvasive species triggers a massive loss of ecosystem services through a trophic cascade.
Despite growing recognition of the importance of ecosystem services and the economic and ecological harm caused by invasive species, linkages between invasions, changes in ecosystem functioning, and in turn, provisioning of ecosystem services remain poorly documented and poorly understood. We evaluate the economic impacts of an invasion that cascaded through a food web to cause substantial decl...
متن کاملWater quality assessment of Vasileva Lake based on diatoms influences by tourism, fishing and recreation
Surface waters in recent years are under the great influence of industrial and anthropogenic factors. Vasileva Lake has been impacted by anthropogenic factors. It has been exploited by people for recreation, vacation and fishing, which exposed Vasileva Lake to occurrence of pollution. Purpose of this work was to evaluate the status of water quality in this artificial lake, using algae-diatoms a...
