TemBi 2014 mesocosm study: Summer storm impact on Zooplankton abundance in Lake Stechlin ...

We simulated an experimental summer storm in large-volume (~1200 m3, ~16m depth) enclosures in Lake Stechlin by mixing deeper water masses from the meta- and hypolimnion into the mixed layer (epilimnion). The mixing included the disturbance of a deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) which was present at th...

Description
Summary:We simulated an experimental summer storm in large-volume (~1200 m3, ~16m depth) enclosures in Lake Stechlin by mixing deeper water masses from the meta- and hypolimnion into the mixed layer (epilimnion). The mixing included the disturbance of a deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) which was present at the same time of the experiment in Lake Stechlin and situated in the metalimnion of each enclosure during filling. Copepod and Cladocera biomass was monitored for 42 days after the experimental disturbance event (Utermöhl counting at 60x magnification and biomass calculation from length-dry mass relationships). Sampling was performed using a 90 µm mesh size Apstein-cone. ... : Method: 90 µm mesh size Apstein-cone, Utermöhl counting at 60x, TSO image analysis program (KIO VIDMESS-2011, Version 2.60.50, including a TSO-KST1003832 camera, TSO - Thalheim-Spezial-Optik-Gerätebau, Pulsnitz, Germany), biomass calculations from length-dry mass relationships (Bottrell et al. 1976; Kasprzak 1983).Further Project information:Core Facility grant; Award: GE 1775/2-1 ...
