DOLMANT Development of ecological modelling tools for lake management Speakers: Dr Louise Vaughan & Dr Katrina Macintosh Project Leaders: Dr Yvonne McElarney & Prof Brian Rippey

Presentation Overview DOLMANT project aims Programme of work Phytoplankton Zooplankton Future work Questions?

DOLMANT Project Aims Integrate biological, hydromorphological and physico- chemical properties of lakes with catchment variables Models will help evaluate the effectiveness of measures adopted in catchments Support effective programmes of measures in line with the Water Framework Directive

Chla Metrics e.g. % Cyanobacteria % Chlorophytes.. Ecological State M’Invertebrate Status Zooplankton Status Macrophyte Status Temperature Catchment nutrient loadings… Plus other relevant measured variables..alk, cond, pH etc… Lake TP Lake TN Phytoplankton Status Fish Status

Lough Neagh Lower Lough Erne 52 smaller lakes Programme of Work

Phytoplankton Golagh Lee Vearty Legane Mourne Scolban

Lough Neagh

Phytoplankton Metrics Chlorophyll a Percentage Nuisance Cyanobacteria Irish EPA Phytoplankton composition metric Phytoplankton Trophic Index

Zooplankton Lough Neagh historic samples Two years; 2005 and 2011 were enumerated in detail. Describe seasonal patterns of density Establish changes between 2005 and 2011 Changes from data

Lough Neagh 2005 TaxaMean (nos L -1 )Median (nos L -1 ) Cyclops spp Eudiaptomus gracilis Daphnia hyalina Daphnia longspina Daphnia pulex0.014Found in one sample Naupulii Mysis relicta0.002Found in three samples Leptodora kindtii0.004Found in three samples Bythotrephes longimanus0.008Found in two samples Cyclops spp. most abundant, followed by Eudiaptomus gracilis D. hyalina found between July and October D. longispina found between March and May Bythotrephes longimanus found in July and August Leptodora kindtii from May to August

Lough Neagh 2005

Lough Neagh 2011 Cyclops spp. most abundant, followed by Eudiaptomus gracilis D. hyalina found between July and December D. longispina not found Bythotrephes longimanus found from July to September Leptodora kindtii in August and October TaxaMean (nos L -1 )Median (nos L -1 ) Cyclops spp Eudiaptomus gracilis Daphnia hyalina Naupulii Mysis relicta0.003Found in two samples Leptodora kindtii0.0003Found in two samples Bythotrephes longimanus0.007Found in three samples

Lough Neagh 2011

Lough Neagh

Future Work Continue enumeration of historic samples from Lough Neagh and Lough Erne Commence fieldwork on 52 small lakes Model causal relations between lake variables using structural equation modeling (SEM) / path analysis Develop practical management tools to assist agencies achieve ecological targets for lakes
