UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Taihu Lake is a typical plain eutrophic shallow lake. With rapidly economic development of the lake area, the petroleum products and oil wastewater produced in various processes have been inevitably discharged into Taihu Lake. As the major fresh water resource in the economically developed region of Yangtze River Delta, the water quality and environmental condition of T...

Microcystis aeruginosa is a major primary producer and a common toxic cyanobacterium, playing an important role in the aquatic environment (Chen et al., 2016). Microcystis aeruginosa is commonly observed in highly eutrophic lakes (Watanabe and Oishi, 1985). In recent years, surface cyanobacterial bloom occurred frequently in most large shallow lakes in China, such as Lake Taihu (Zhang et al., 2...

Lake systems are the largest integrated depositional complexes in the continental realm: modern lakes have areas up to 374,000 km2, and ancient lake strata extend up to 300,000 km2 in the Cretaceous systems of the south Atlantic and eastern China and the Permian system of western China. The largest lakes do not appear to form a significantly different population in many of their attributes. The...

Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) are an invasive species that have been implicated in the reduction of algae stocks in the near-shore environment of western Lake Erie. To determine their basin-wide effects, we applied a twodimensional hydrodynamic and water-quality model for 1994. The model accurately reproduced lake-wide hydrodynamics and water quality. When modeled as true benthic organis...

Skadar Lake is the largest shallow lake in southeastern Europe. It is located within a national park, and is included in the Ramsar List of international important wetlands, so its preservation and protection from pollution is very important. The aim of this study was to investigate bioaccumulation of the ecotoxic metals Cd, Pb and Cr from sediments of Skadar Lake in the aquatic macrophyte Trap...

Diel pH changes in lake waters resulting from high photosynthetic activity may regulate water-soluble P concentration (WSP) and P sorption by suspended sediments in shallow eutrophic lakes. Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the pH effect on P fractions and P sorption kinetics in oxidized sediment suspensions from two subtropical lakes (Lake Apopka and Lake Okeechobee, Florida). The...

A shallow site in the western arm of Lake Superior near Duluth, Minnesota was sampled bimonthly from May to October during 1989 and 1990 to identify seasonal and annual changes in bacterioplankton communities. The greatest change in bacterioplankton abundance was between 1989 (1.48 × 109/L ± 0.06 SE) and 1990 (1.14 × 109/L ± 0.06 SE). The majority of bacterial cells (65%) were cocci. Individual...

The abundance of nineteen waterbird species was counted during traverses of the entire shorelines of 17 Rotorua lakes in the summers of 1985, 1991 and 1996, by members of the Ornithological Society of New Zealand, assisted by the Department of Conservation and the Eastern Region Fish and Game Council. Also, the locations of all individuals of NZ dabchick were mapped. The overall waterbird commu...
