The aim of this study was to identify the variation of plankton communities in the Tortum Lake. Changes in phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in relation to the abiotic environment were analyzed using multivariate analysis. Water samples were taken monthly from three sampling points of the Tortum Lake between June 2012 and May 2013. Water temperature (5.28-23.05°C), dissolved oxygen ...

An ecological dynamics model of algal growth was coupled with a two-dimensional lake hydrodynamic model to examine the eutrophication problem in Taihu Lake, China. The model included three water quality variables: chlorophyll-a (chl-a), total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN). The model was used to investigate the wind-induced current and the characteristics and drivers of TP distribution...

Parishan Lake has been selected by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve and was recorded as an international wetland in Ramsar convention in 1986. This region is located (29°31'N 51°48'E) at 820 m in Kazeroon, Fars province, south of Iran and is the largest freshwater lake in the country. Parishan Lake is extremely important for a wide variety of wintering waterfowl and also for breeding waterfowl, es...

In this study, we compare the diet, life history characters and abundance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) stocks between two crater lakes in western Uganda (Lake Nyamusingiri and Lake Kyasanduka) that differ in their history of fishing pressure. Both lakes support native fish communities, but also harbour populations of introduced O. niloticus. Lake Nyamusingiri was characterized by a h...

In many northern temperate regions, the water color of lakes has increased over the past decades (“lake browning”), probably caused by an increased export of dissolved organic matter from soils. We investigated if the increase in water color in two lakes in Norway has resulted in increased burial of organic carbon (OC) and mercury (Hg) in the sediments and if the Hg was prone to methylation. La...
