3 Fisheries Management Goal Maintain Balance Between Density of Predators and Prey
4 Components of Food Web Physical Features Temperature Light Predators Salmonids Phytoplankton Crustacean Zooplankton Cladocerans Copepods Planktivorous Forage Fish Nutrients Phosphorus Benthos Diporeia
5 Limiting Factors in Lake Superior Cold Water temperatures
6 Spring Water Temperatures Temperature (C) Superior

8 Summer Water Temperatures 25 Temperature (C) Superior Offshore Nearshore
9 Summer Water Temperatures 25 Temperature (C) Superior Huron Michigan
10 Limiting Factors in Lake Superior Cold water temperatures Low Levels of Nutrients

36 Threats to Lower Food Web Introduction of non-native native species Competitors Predators
37 Invertebrate Predators Bythotrephes and Cercopagis Invertebrate predators would select smaller or slower prey - cladocerans
38 Changes in Food Web Physical Features Temperature Light Predators Salmonids Phytoplankton Crustacean Zooplankton Cladocerans Copepods Bythotrephes Cercopagis Forage Fish Coregonids Nutrients Phosphorus Benthos Diporeia
39 Dreissenid mussels Zebra and quagga mussels Filter algae and small zooplankton Change flow of nutrients to offshore regions of lakes
40 Changes in Food Web Physical Features Temperature Light Predators Salmonids Phytoplankton Crustacean Zooplankton Cladocerans Copepods Forage Fish Coregonids Nutrients Phosphorus Benthos Diporeia Dreissenid mussels
41 Diporeia Abundance Density (#/m2) Lake Superior Diporeia - Moderate depths
42 Diporeia Abundance Lake Superior Diporeia Density at Deep Stations # m Year
43 Summary Lake Superior is an oligotrophic lake Cool temperatures and low nutrients limit primary production Chlorophyll and phytoplankton concentrations are lower than in other Great Lakes Lake Superior s phytoplankton community is quite diverse
44 Summary Offshore zooplankton density and biomass are lower than in other Great Lakes Communities are dominated by large calanoid copepods which prefer cold water A few cladocerans appear in summer Near-shore zooplankton populations are more variable in density and composition
45 Summary Offshore Diporeia density is low Abundance is greater at moderate depths These regions can serve as nursery areas for fish
46 Summary Low abundance of non-native native predatory cladocerans Dreissenid mussels are not established in open lake Lake Superior s lower food web is not showing the major changes in composition that are occurring in the other Great Lakes
