Abstract Sutherland JW, Turcotte RJ, Molden E, Moriarty V, Kelly M, Aubel M, Foss A. 2021. The detection of airborne anatoxin-a (ATX) on glass fiber filters during a harmful algal bloom. Lake Reserv Manage. 37:113–119. Anatoxin-a (ATX) is a neurotoxic alkaloid produced by certain cyanobacteria genera that can occur during harmful algal blooms (HABs). This study is the first to report airborne ATX collected outside an aquatic ecosystem. ATX was captured on glass fiber filters using a field-deployed air sampler during an active 2019 HAB at Capaum Pond on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts (USA). These findings indicate that emission of ATX molecules, or cyanobacteria containing ATX, during HABs presents a potential human health exposure not previously examined.

Abstract Beaulieu J, Trépanier-Leroux D, Fischer JM, Olson MH, Thibodeau S, Humphries S, Fraser DJ, Derry AM. 2021. Rotenone for exotic trout eradication: nontarget impacts on aquatic communities in a mountain lake. Lake Reserv Manage. 37:323–338. Rotenone is widely used in lake and reservoir management for the eradication of exotic fish. However, nontarget effects of rotenone on freshwater organisms such as zooplankton and macroinvertebrates are of concern because of the ecological importance of these organisms in aquatic food webs as a resource base for fish, especially when rotenone is applied to lakes prior to native fish reintroduction. The objective of our study was to determine the effects of rotenone on nontarget zooplankton and macroinvertebrate species assemblages in a headwater mountain lake where rotenone was applied to remove exotic brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis; Banff, AB Canada). We found strong negative rotenone impacts on the community structure and density of crustacean zooplankton, and to a lesser extent on macroinvertebrates, lasting for at least 1 yr after the rotenone treatment. Our study offers 2 unique insights that differentiate from rotenone studies on other lakes: (1) the persistent and almost complete eradication of crustacean zooplankton in the following summers, 11 months after rotenone treatment, and (2) a considerable shift in the macroinvertebrate community composition, likely resulting from combined effects of both nontarget rotenone effects on taxon density and trophic interactions associated with the eradication of brook trout from the lake. We advocate that assisted recolonization in the restoration of aquatic food webs could play an important role in facilitating nontarget aquatic community recovery following lake rotenone treatment.

Abstract Tabor RA, Perkin EK, Beauchamp DA, Britt LL, Haehn R, Green J, Robinson T, Stolnack S, Lantz DW, Moore ZJ. 2021. Artificial lights with different spectra do not alter detrimental attraction of young Chinook salmon and sockeye salmon along lake shorelines. Lake Reserv Manage. 37:313–322. Artificial light at night (ALAN) is common in lakes with developed shorelines, especially prevalent in the nearshore areas where juvenile fishes, including salmonids, are present. One concern is that fishes may be attracted to ALAN and become more vulnerable to predators. The use of longer wavelength lights has been suggested to reduce the effects of ALAN; however, the response in juvenile salmonids is not well known. We tested the hypothesis that longer wavelength lights would attract fewer subyearling Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and sockeye salmon (O. nerka) than shorter wavelength lights. Test lights included 4 LED lights, an incandescent light, and a high-pressure sodium light (HPS). In total, 13 experimental trials were conducted in 2017 and 2018, and in total 1769 Chinook salmon and 870 sockeye salmon were collected with beach seines. The mean catch rate (number per beach seine set) of subyearling salmonids was 51.0 for lighted treatments but only 6.6 for control treatments (no light). In both years, we did not find any significant difference in catch rates for either species between either of the longer wavelength lights (red-filter and yellow-filter LED lights) and other lights, and thus we rejected the hypothesis that longer wavelength light would attract fewer subyearling salmonids. For these early life stages of salmon in shallow shoreline habitats, reducing the intensity of light present is likely more important than altering the spectral composition when trying to minimize maladaptive attraction to ALAN.

Abstract Cross BK, Taylor TN, Moore BC, Lanouette BP. 2021. Zooplankton and profundal macroinvertebrate responses to hypolimnetic oxygenation in North Twin Lake, Washington. Lake Reserv Manage. 37:275–288. Hypolimnetic oxygenation (HO) has been used to address lake eutrophication and fish habitat limitations, but details on zooplankton and profundal macroinvertebrate community responses are required to fully understand the trophic linkages and impacts. Compared to adjacent South Twin Lake (an unoxygenated reference), zooplankton and profundal macroinvertebrate densities and distributions were altered by HO in North Twin Lake. Overall, temporal trends in zooplankton density were similar between lakes despite oxygenation, suggesting annual and seasonal influences remained a primary factor affecting their density trends. During the day, Chaoborus density was significantly greater in the water column of unoxygenated South Twin Lake compared to oxygenated North Twin Lake (P < 0.0001) as the oxygenated hypolimnion no longer provided refuge from fish predation. Daphnia and copepod densities were greater in North Twin Lake during oxygenation compared to South Twin Lake (P = 0.0011 and P = 0.0005), which may reflect increases in zooplankton habitat availability and reduced predation from Chaoborus in response to HO. With higher levels of dissolved oxygen near the sediment–water interface in North Twin Lake, larval Chaoborus and chironomid densities in the benthic sediments were significantly higher compared to South Twin Lake (P < 0.0001 in both cases). Vertical distribution of zooplankton likely reflected some balance between habitat availability, energetic costs, and predation risk. Lakes with different fish species assemblages may not respond similarly, so managers should reflect on lake similarities between North Twin Lake and systems they manage to understand potential effects of HO and how those effects align with management objectives.

Abstract Detmer TM, McCutchan JH Jr. Design and use of a benthic sled for quantitative sampling of epibenthic macroinvertebrates in lakes. Lake Reserv Manage. 37:289–299. Benthic macroinvertebrates, including epibenthic taxa, affect the structure and function of lake ecosystems. This article describes the design and application of a benthic sled for quantitative sampling of epibenthic macroinvertebrates. Evaluation and testing of the sled included measurements of filtration efficiency and capture efficiency, as well as comparisons of sled samples with samples from a D-frame net and a coring sampler. Filtration efficiency for the benthic sled was 33 ± 2.8% (mean ± SE) and was not influenced by tow distance over distances up to 15 m. After correction for filtration efficiency, capture efficiency as determined by underwater videography was 83 ± 9.4% (mean ± SE). We found no differences between devices for sampling Corixidae, but Siphlonuridae were sampled much more effectively by the benthic sled than with the D-frame net. Thus, there may be taxonomic biases with standard sweeps using a D-net. For a set of samples from 13 mountain lakes in Colorado, community composition differed greatly between samples collected with the benthic sled and those collected with a coring sampler. The benthic sled described here is a useful tool for the study of epibenthic macroinvertebrates in lakes generally, and particularly in fishless lakes and other lakes where epibenthic taxa can be dominant. Ultimately, application of benthic sleds in studies of lake benthos, in combination with other sampling devices such as piston corers, may contribute to a more complete understanding of benthic communities, population dynamics, and energy flow in lake ecosystems.

Abstract Hoyer, MV, Canfield, DE Jr. 2021. Volunteer-collected water quality data can be used for science and management. Lake Reserv Manage. 37:235–245. This study addresses concerns that comparison studies between professional and volunteer-collected data have been of limited scope, conducted under experimental conditions, and that results may not be applicable to existing large-scale, long-term volunteer monitoring datasets. Historical (2008 to 2019) phosphorus, nitrogen, chlorophyll, and Secchi data collected by 5 Florida organizations charged with monitoring water quality were compared with Florida LAKEWATCH volunteer-collected data from 216 lakes. The state organizations had National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC)-certified laboratories and LAKEWATCH used modified procedures needed to accommodate a volunteer program. The lakes are located in central Florida, range in trophic status from oligotrophic to hypereutrophic, and provided approximately 650 independent overlapping annual geometric mean pairs for comparison. Paired t-tests comparing logarithmic transformed annual geometric mean data pooled from all professional organizations with similar overlapping volunteer-collected data showed significant (P < 0.05) differences for phosphorus, nitrogen, and Secchi depth but not for chlorophyll. The significant differences when reported arithmetically were only 1.1 µg/L, −1.1 µg/L, and 0.1 m, respectively. Regression analyses on the same data showed strong significant (P < 0.05) relations with coefficient of determinations (R2 ) of 0.91, 0.98, 0.79, and 0.78 for phosphorus, nitrogen, chlorophyll, and Secchi depth, respectively. Slopes for each paired regression were not significantly different from 1. These results demonstrate that volunteer-collected data were equivalent to data collected professionally, that the quality of volunteer data can be similar to that produced by NELAC-certified laboratories, and thus that data are adequate for both research and management.

A widespread effort is underway to improve awareness of cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) across the United States using a variety of monitoring programs and public health outreach measures to protect people, pets, and livestock. To determine the status of cyanoHAB outreach and monitoring efforts, 2 questionnaires were distributed to health/environmental departments in 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC). One questionnaire focused on cyanoHAB exposure to humans from drinking water and the second targeted exposure through recreational activities. All states plus DC responded to the recreational survey; 46 states plus DC responded to the drinking water survey. All states except Alaska answered that microcystins were the cyanotoxins of greatest concern for recreational exposure; microcystins were also of greatest concern for drinking water with the exception of Utah (anatoxin-a in reservoirs was greatest concern) and Rhode Island (microcystins and anatoxin-a in reservoirs/ponds were greatest concern). Regional comparisons disclosed a lack of cyanoHAB programs in southern states relative to northern states that may be related to the higher percentage of water surface area in northern states. Interestingly, recreational outreach is more extensive than drinking water outreach (only 16 states reported having some type of drinking water outreach program, compared with 35 states with recreational outreach), and preferred outreach methods are websites and press releases. Additionally, respondents reported very limited funding for outreach and monitoring programs. Our results establish baseline information to help determine what future direction cyanoHAB outreach and monitoring programs can take at local, regional, and national levels.

To determine the status of cyanoHAB outreach and monitoring efforts, 2 questionnaires were distributed to health/environmental departments in 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC). One questionnaire focused on cyanoHAB exposure to humans from drinking water and the second targeted exposure through recreational activities. All states plus DC responded to the recreational survey; 46 states plus DC responded to the drinking water survey. All states except Alaska answered that microcystins were the cyanotoxins of greatest concern for recreational exposure; microcystins were also of greatest concern for drinking water with the exception of Utah (anatoxin-a in reservoirs was greatest concern) and Rhode Island (microcystins and anatoxin-a in reservoirs/ponds were greatest concern). Regional comparisons disclosed a lack of cyanoHAB programs in southern states relative to northern states that may be related to the higher percentage of water surface area in northern states. Interestingly, recreational outreach is more extensive than drinking water outreach (only 16 states reported having some type of drinking water outreach program, compared with 35 states with recreational outreach), and preferred outreach methods are websites and press releases. Additionally, respondents reported very limited funding for outreach and monitoring programs. Our results establish baseline information to help determine what future direction cyanoHAB outreach and monitoring programs can take at local, regional, and national levels.</p>","PeriodicalId":18017,"journal":{"name":"Lake and Reservoir Management","volume":"37 3","pages":"246-260"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10402381.2020.1863530","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40583193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Johnston L, Hiscock A, Holmes B, Bermarija T, Scott R, Sinclair A, Jamieson R. 2020. Trophic triage: a tiered eutrophication vulnerability screening tool for lakes in sparsely monitored regions. Lake Reserv Manage. 37:214–226. Eutrophication and the occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) have been observed in lakes throughout North America. Here, we developed a high-level lake screening tool for characterizing eutrophication vulnerability in sparsely monitored regions. The screening tool involves a desktop study (Tier 1) to classify the vulnerability of lakes to eutrophication as either low, moderate, or high vulnerability. A subset of lakes is then identified from this initial assessment for a preliminary water quality sampling program to confirm the desktop evaluation (Tier 2). From this evaluation, lakes in a final subset undergo a comprehensive sampling program to establish final vulnerability levels (Tier 3). The screening tool was initially developed and demonstrated for lakes within the Municipality of Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada. Five lakes, spanning a range of land uses, morphologies, and watershed settings, were subjected to a detailed water quality monitoring program to help refine factors and thresholds in the screening tool. Tier 2 and Tier 3 were then applied to the 5 study lakes to demonstrate the complete screening process. Tier 1 of the screening tool was further validated on an additional 29 lakes in Nova Scotia, and performed as intended for the majority of lakes, predicting the same or higher trophic state than the one currently measured for 25 of the 29 lakes. For the 4 lakes with trophic states that were underpredicted, the vulnerability level was still correctly predicted. The screening tool proved to be a robust approach for identifying lakes that are vulnerable to eutrophication, and for prioritizing monitoring activities.

Abstract Ginn BK, Dias EFS, Fleischaker T. 2021. Trends in submersed aquatic plant communities in a large, inland lake: impacts of an invasion by starry stonewort (Nitellopsis obtusa). Lake Reserv Manage. 37:199–213. Aquatic plant and macroalgae (collectively, macrophyte) communities from Lake Simcoe (Ontario, Canada) were studied in lakewide, >200 site surveys in 2008, 2013, and 2018. Over this period, mean macrophyte biomass increased 5-fold, from 29.9 g (dry)/m2 in 2008 to 153.9 g (dry)/m2 in 2018, due to the arrival and expansion of invasive starry stonewort (Nitellopsis obtusa). First recorded in Lake Simcoe in 2009, starry stonewort has greatly altered the macrophyte community, particularly in shallow (<3 m) water where it outcompeted invasive Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum). By 2018, starry stonewort comprised 67.6% of the total macrophyte biomass in Lake Simcoe. In shallow, mesotrophic Cook’s Bay, comparison to studies from the 1980s shows an increased plant biomass due to increased water clarity, from phosphorus (P) abatement and invasive dreissenid mussels, with further increases after 2011 due to starry stonewort. Starry stonewort may continue to impact nearshore ecology, with shallow-water fish species losing habitat and refugia as the “forest-like” structure of the plant community is replaced by large, dense aggregations of starry stonewort. Recreational uses will also be impaired and landowner complaints of macrophyte wash-ups will increase, with municipalities and lake-based businesses bearing the cost of mitigation and control strategies. Future research should consider the impacts of starry stonewort to P cycling as, unlike aquatic plants that uptake sediment P, macroalgae use dissolved P as a nutrient source. A lack of communication and reporting on starry stonewort has enabled its spread through south-central Ontario and the Great Lakes Region. Moving forward, we need a better understanding of starry stonewort biology and need to develop effective control and management strategies.

Abstract Natarajan P, Gulliver JS, Arnold WA. 2021. Iron filings application to reduce lake sediment phosphorus release. Lake Reserv Manage. 27:143–159. Surface water impairments due to excess phosphorus loading from the watershed and internal recycling from sediments have been reported worldwide. This study investigated the application of iron metal filings to lake sediments as a method to control sediment phosphorus release. Using batch studies, a zero-valent iron filings material was selected for laboratory dosing experiments with lake sediment cores. Iron filings doses of 0 (control), 0.01, 0.1, and 1 g/cm2 were added to sediment cores collected from a eutrophic lake in Minnesota, United States, to determine the impacts of iron addition on the oxic and anoxic phosphate (PO4-P) flux at 20 C and 10 C in the laboratory. Under oxic conditions, PO4-P release did not occur from the sediments, and low water column PO4-P concentrations were maintained in the iron-dosed and control cores. After switching to anoxic conditions, the 0.1 and 1 g/cm2 iron doses continued to reduce or fully prevent sediment PO4-P flux. The enhanced supply of iron in the sediments was found to reduce the porewater PO4-P, resulting in no apparent PO4-P diffusion across the sediment–water interface and low PO4-P in the overlying water under oxic and anoxic conditions. Further evaluation using in situ experiments is needed to assess the effectiveness of iron filings addition in sequestering sediment phosphorus under natural conditions.
