Dreissena and the disappearance of the spring phytoplankton bloom in Lake Michigan

Abstract: We determined the clearance rates of the profunda morph of the quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis) using seston and Cryptomonas ozolini, a high-quality algal food, for the temperature range 1-7°C, which is the full temperature range this morph is likely to experience during isothermal conditions or in the hypolimnion of deep lakes. Experiments at 3°C with the shallow-water morph of the quagga and the zebra mussel provided very similar results. The clearance rates were combined with dreissenid abundance in 0-30 … Show more

“…We suggest that the ring of high mussel biomass at intermediate depths (Fig. 1) can present a "blockade" for offshore phytoplankton being transported toward the eastern shore, much as mussels in Lake Michigan are hypothesized to depress "downstream" plankton concentrations (Vanderploeg et al 2010).…”

“…Lastly, because the period after 2004 represented the major expansion of quagga mussels into deep water and loss of the spring bloom Vanderploeg et al, 2010), we directly compared mean zooplankton biomass aggregated over the years 1993-2003 with that for 2007 and 2008. We used a two-sample ttest to evaluate differences between the two time periods.…”

“…These perturbations included: (1) a gradual decrease in total phosphorus (TP) loading (Mida et al, 2010); (2) increased control of the planktivorous alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) by introduction of Pacific salmon (Madenjian et al, 2005(Madenjian et al, , 2010; (3) the invasion of the visual-feeding spined predatory cladoceran Bythotrephes longimanus in the mid 1980s from northern Europe (Lehman, 1987;Vanderploeg et al, 2002); (4) invasion by a host of Ponto-Caspian species, including zebra (Dreissena polymorpha) and quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) during the 1990s ; and (5) loss of the spring phytoplankton bloom in 2007 and 2008 likely caused by intense filtering during winter and spring by quagga mussels following their massive population expansion into deep water starting in 2004 Vanderploeg et al, 2010).…”
