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.
water below.LAKE L. Zoe ERIE “DEAD” Almeida ZONEIn Lake Erie, the hypoxic zone can be as large as 10,000 square kilomete. 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 ...
Jun 1, 2014 · Potential in situ impacts of hypoxia on mobile fish species in Lake Erie appear to be indirect and vary among species. For example, hypoxia-intolerant rainbow smelt ( Osmerus mordax ) entirely avoid hypoxic waters in CB by migrating horizontally or moving up into a thin layer of the water column just above the hypoxic zone ( Pothoven et al., 2012 , Vanderploeg et al., 2009b ).

There was also an increase in all major crustacean zooplankton groups in both the western and central basin of Lake Erie. There is a clear shift in Lake Erie's central and western basins from a largely planktivorous prey-fish community to one that is more benthivorous (e.g. invasive white perch).

Oct 28, 2024 · October 28, 2024. Washington, DC—Recommended limits on the flow of nutrients into Lake Erie from agriculture may be too restrictive for some species of fish. They are, however, suited to maintain healthy fisheries until the middle of this century amid a warming climate, according to a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Mar 13, 2015 · Seasonal degradation of aquatic habitats from hypoxia occurs in numerous freshwater and coastal marine systems and can result in direct mortality or displacement of fish. Yet, fishery landings from these systems are frequently unresponsive to changes in the severity and extent of hypoxia, and population-scale effects have been difficult to measure except in extreme hypoxic conditions with ...
