Phytoplankton dynamics in nearshore and offshore regions of the Great Lakes Erie, Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria by Rebecca Lee North A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biology Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, ©Rebecca Lee North Phytoplankton dynamics in nearshore and offshore regions of the Great Lakes Erie, Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria I studied African and North American Great Lakes that are similar to large inland oceans.

I discovered that Fe is a key nutrient that is often limiting in the offshore, and may explain the dominance of cyanobacteria in nutrient. Great Lakes Phytoplankton Monitoring. Phytoplankton are a major piece of the Great Lakes food web.

They are food for zooplankton and small and young fish. EPA compares phytoplankton numbers to determine year-to-year and long-term differences. Phytoplankton dynamics in a chain of subtropical blackwater lakes: the Upper St.

Johns River, Florida, USA. Lake Reserv. Manage. – Spatial and seasonal patterns in phytoplankton biovolume and community composition were examined for a chain of lakes in. Muskegon Lake is a major drowned river mouth system that connects directly to Lake Michigan and understanding the phytoplankton dynamics in the lake has implications for other similar systems throughout the Great Lakes region.

The roles of phytoplankton and the factors that control their growth and structure in river mouth areas are important, because phytoplankton are critical both as a food resource for higher trophic levels (Scavia and Fahnenstiel, ) and for carbon sequestration.

The phytoplankton and productivity of the North American Great Lakes has been studied extensively by Fisheries and Oceans Canada during the past 15 years to monitor the impact of nutrient and contaminant loading on the plankton of the ecosystem.

Lakewide cruises were conducted at monthly intervals mainly during the spring to fall period. This role makes them a major component of the Great Lakes food web, serving as the main food source for zooplankton and prey fish. Phytoplankton are also sensitive to water quality changes, and can serve as the first indicators of nutrient and contaminant changes, and physical (such as climate) changes in the lakes.

MUNAWAR Phytoplankton dynamics in the North American Great Lakes. Book. The Great Lakes: An Introduction to Limnology North America is endowed with eight of the twelve largest fresh-water lakes in the world.

The origin and geological history, cycles of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, and structures of ecosystems of the North American Great Lakes will be used as examples of large lacustrine systems. Phytoplankton production is an important factor in determining both ecosystem stability and the provision of ecosystem goods and services.

The expansive and economically important North American Great Lakes are subjected to multiple stressors and understanding their responses to those stresses is important for understanding system-wide ecological controls.
