摘要

The North American Great Lakes continue to be impacted by multiple stressors including: eutrophication and phosphorus abatement, invasive species, synergistic food web disruptions, degradation of fisheries and fish habitat, and climate change. The Great Lakes are an enormous global aquatic resource, spanning 245 000 km2 and containing 20% of the world% supply of fresh water. Stressors affecting the health of the lakes have implications for the entire planet. In previous studies, we have considered the impact of exotic species on the complete food web of Lake Erie (MuNAWAR et al. 2005) and the lower trophic levels of Lake Ontario (MUNAWAR et al. 2006). Since these studies were published, more invasive species have been observed in the Great Lakes, including Hemimysis anomala in the summer of 2007 (J. Gerlofsma, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, pers. comm.). Lake Superior, perhaps due to its size (12 100 km~3) and relatively sparse population density along its shores, has not been subject to the same eutrophication pressure as Lake Ontario (1640 km~3; VOLLENWEIDER et al. 1974); however, both have been subject to ecosystemic disruption as a result of invasive species. In this study, we consider long-term changes in species composition at the top (fishes) and at the bottom (phytoplankton) of the food web of Lakes Ontario and Superior and consider the long term implications in terms for ecosystem health and resilience. We discuss how these synergistic changes reverberate through the food web to provide insights into the impact of multiple stressors for large lakes management.

Gerlofsma,加拿大渔业和海洋,私人通信)。 Superior湖,可能是由于它的尺寸(12100公里〜3),并沿着它的岸相对稀疏的人口密度,一直没有受到相同的富营养化压力安大略(1640公里〜3;佛伦怀德等人1974);然而,这两种都受到了破坏生态系的入侵物种造成的。在这项研究中,我们考虑物种组成在顶部(鱼)在安大略湖和高级的食物网的底部(浮游植物)的长期变化和并考虑长期影响在生态系统的健康和弹性条款。我们讨论这些协同变化是如何通过回荡食物网提供见解多重压力的大型湖泊管理的影响。
