European Multi Lake Survey Summer 2015 CyanoCOST/ NETLAKE

European Multi Lake Survey
Summer 2015
CyanoCOST/ NETLAKE Training School
May 2015
Organization: Evanthia Mantzouki, Bastiaan Ibelings
Participants: CyanoCOST & NETLAKE
Sevilla, CYANOCOST
19/02/2015
Aims of European Multi Lake Survey
1. Quantify the relative role of nutrients (N vs. P) and
temperature as drivers of cyanoblooms (mode and type
interaction)
2. Assess the function of trophic state, basin type, functional
traits of dominant taxa
3. Risk analysis , toxin profiles of all lakes
27 Countries
(54% Inclusiveness)
55 Participants
≈
100s lakes
PROTOCOLS
• EPA – National Lakes Assessment 2012

LAKE SELECTION (NLA Criteria)
≥ 1 ha in total surface area
≥ 1000 square meters of open water
≥ 1 meter in depth

Field Scenario
1. Prepare equipment and supplies for sampling. Calibrate sensors and multi probe meter
2. Lake sampling (Sampling day chosen by each participant, capturing the seasonal maximum)
Meteorological data: Wind speed, air temperature and precipitation
Profiles of temperature, Chl Fluorescence, DO and pH in Index site
Secchi depth
3. Determine depth of sampling (3 depths)
Sampling at 3 discreet depths: Chlorophyll a, nutrients, phytoplankton, zooplankton,
microbes- community composition, toxins
4. Inspect periphery and spot Scum
Sampling surface: Chlorophyll a, phytoplankton, toxins
5. Ensure all samples are labelled and dated correctly
6. Sample preparation
7. Sample analysis
8. Shipping
