1 Vancouver Lake Biotic Assessment Washington State University Vancouver Aquatic Ecology Laboratory Dr. Stephen M. Bollens Dr. Gretchen Rollwagen-Bollens Co-Directors

2 Problem: Noxious cyanobacteria blooms during summer, that often require closing Vancouver Lake to public use Key questions: What factors influence the formation, persistence, and decline of cyanobacteria blooms? Can these blooms be prevented, or reduced, and if so, how?

3 Biological components of Vancouver Lake assessment: Phytoplankton Algae & Cyanobacteria Protozoans Zooplankton Bottom-Dwelling Invertebrates

4 Potential trophic interactions in Vancouver Lake Zooplankton rotifers cladocerans copepods Protozoans ciliates dinoflagellates cyanobacteria diatoms chlorophytes Algae and cyanobacteria Nutrients: NO 3, NO 2, NH 4, PO 4, SiO 2

5 Project Objectives (1 st year) Determine abundance, distribution and taxonomic composition of cyanobacteria in Vancouver Lake over a full annual cycle Initiate preliminary investigations of the biotic (e.g. grazers) and abiotic (e.g. temperature, mixing) factors influencing these blooms Analyze extant data on cyanobacteria blooms in Vancouver Lake for spatial and temporal patterns and trends in abundance

35 Summary of 1 st year findings Very little spatial variability of phytoplankton, protozoans or zooplankton Cyanobacteria had extended summer bloom with extremely high abundance Protozoan grazers (e.g. ciliates and dinoflagellates) may be influencing cyanobacteria blooms A variety of zooplankton grazers (e.g. cladocerans, copepods, rotifers) may also be influencing cyanobacteria blooms

36 Plans for future work Continue monitoring abundance and taxonomic composition of phytoplankton, protozoans, zooplankton and water quality in Vancouver Lake over a second annual cycle (at one station). Determine rate processes of cyanobacteria: - cyanobacteria growth - protozoan grazing (cyanobacteria death) - zooplankton grazing (cyanobacteria death). In long term, integrate plankton work into broader food web dynamics of the Lake, including fish and other higher level predators.

37 Population increase (growth rate) Population Size (number of individuals) Population decrease (death rate) Factors influencing cyanobacteria growth: nutrients light temperature mixing, etc. Factors influencing cyanobacteria death: protozoan grazers zooplankton grazers viruses, etc.
