  1. s and alters the lake ecosystem from July to October. These low oxygen areas are often referred to as “dead zones,” because many mobile organisms leave the hypoxic zone, a. d many sessile organisms die without adequate oxygen. Fish are forced to leave the cooler, deeper waters to inhabit new areas with more oxygen, but p.

  2. In recent years, the central basin of Lake Erie has experienced low-oxygen conditions, despite measures taken by surrounding states and provinces to reduce nutrient inputs. We studied the factors that led to these low-oxygen conditions and forecasted future oxygen conditions and their impacts.

  3. Oct 28, 2024 · Hypoxia is bad news for lake whitefish that prefer the cold bottom water of Lake Erie, said Stuart Ludsin, a professor in the Aquatic Ecology Laboratory at Ohio State University. But, while the cyanobacteria in algal blooms thrive in fertile, nutrient-rich waters, so too do the plankton that feed the lake’s larger fish.

  4. Lake Erie hypoxia negatively affected habitat quality for all species, as related to lower dissolved oxygen and higher water temperatures, but to varying degrees.

  5. Jun 1, 2014 · Potential in situ impacts of hypoxia on mobile fish species in Lake Erie appear to be indirect and vary among species.

  8. Utilization of the bloom by prey-fishes led to high levels of microcystin toxin accumulation, offering a potential mechanism for transfer of microcystins up the food web to economically important sportfishes in Lake Erie (e.g. walleye and yellow perch).
