“…Larger and older bluegills were not present in lakes with high abundances of common carp. Common carp can reduce macroinvertebrate abundance through consumption, by disturbing substrates, and by destroying macrophytes which harbor these invertebrates (Zambrano and Hinojosa 1999;Parkos et al 2003;Weber and Brown 2009). Reductions in macroinvertebrate prey, which are important foods for bluegill (Schramm and Jirka 1989;Olson et al 2003;Michaletz 2006), can lead to slower growth of bluegill (Wolfe et al 2009;Wahl et al 2011).…”

“…The diet of benthivorous fish in the Curonian Lagoon includes mussels, chironomidae larvae, detritus, zooplankton and plants (Bubinas and Ložys, 2000). Benthivorous fish may impact the water quality, leading to nutrient accumulation and algal growth, by suspending the sediments and by feeding on filterfeeding zooplankton, burrowing macrofauna and macrophytes (Zambrano and Hinojosa, 1999;Williams et al, 2002;Parkos et al, 2003). Sediment resuspension by the benthic fish community increases water turbidity, limits light penetration and rooted macrophytes and favors P release and cyanobacteria growth (Hellström, 1991;Breukelaar et al, 1994).…”

Drivers of Cyanobacterial Blooms in a Hypertrophic Lagoon

et al. 2018

The Curonian Lagoon is Europe's largest lagoon and one of the most seriously impacted by harmful blooms of cyanobacteria. Intensive studies over the past 20 years have allowed us to identify the major drivers determining the composition and spatial extent of hyperblooms in this system. We summarize and discuss the main outcomes of these studies and provide an updated, conceptual scheme of the multiple interactions between climatic and hydrologic factors, and their influence on internal and external processes that promote cyanobacterial blooms. Retrospective analysis of remote sensed images demonstrated the variability of blooms in terms of timing, extension and intensity, suggesting that they occur only under specific circumstances. Monthly analysis of nutrient loads and stoichiometry from the principal tributary (Nemunas River) revealed large interannual differences in the delivery of key elements, but summer months were always characterized by a strong dissolved inorganic N (and Si) limitation, that depresses diatoms and favors the dominance of cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria blooms occurred during high water temperatures, long water residence time and low-wind conditions. The blooms induce transient (night-time) hypoxia, which stimulates the release of iron-bound P, producing a positive feedback for blooms of N-fixing cyanobacteria. Consumermediated nutrient recycling by dreissenid mussels, chironomid larvae, cyprinids and large bird colonies, may also affect P availability, but their role as drivers of cyanobacteria blooms is understudied.

“…Although this species is primarily considered herbivore or detritivore like other species of tilapias, there are reports that it can prey on larvae of other fish species and also small fish such as most of the native species in the Caribbean (Arthington et al, 1994;Morgan et al, 2004). The Common Carp also represents a threat to native species since it has an impact in the natural habitats by increasing solids suspended in the water column and reducing plant coverage with a corresponding decrease in habitat heterogeneity for native aquatic organisms (Zambrano & Hinojosa, 1999;Perrow et al, 1999;Zambrano et al, 2001).…”

Annotated list of livebearing fishes (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliinae) from Lake Miragoane in Southwestern Haiti, Hispaniola

et al. 2021

Within the Caribbean region Lake Miragoane in southwestern Haiti represents one of the most important radiation centers of livebearing fishes of the subfamily Poeciliinae. However, there is a lack of scientific studies documenting the distribution, number of species and conservation status of the fishes from that lake. In this work, an annotated list of livebearing fishes, the most well represented group of aquatic vertebrates in Lake Miragoane, is presented with the corresponding species identification and images. This is the first study in the last 40 years to capture most of the fish diversity in the lake originated from the subgenus Limia and especially in the species flock represented by the subgenus Odontolimia. It also includes two recently described species: Limia islai and L. mandibularis. Here we also report some conservation threats to the endemic freshwater fish fauna from Lake Miragoane that should be addressed to preserve the biodiversity in this important area.
