The functional interaction of phytoplankton and zooplankton, expressed in terms of the numerical difference between phytoplankton growth rates per day (in situ,14C method) and zooplankton grazing rates per day (in situ feeding experiments), was studied along the trophic gradient in Green Bay, Lake Michigan. Growth–grazing differences increased with trophic conditions, averaging 0.08 for the water column in the meso-oligotrophic northern bay and 0.56 in the eutrophic southern bay for the summers of 1986, 1987, and 1988. Eutrophic conditions produced dominance of growth by large-size cyanobacteria and low grazing rates by microcrustaceans Small and occasionally negative growth–grazing differences in the meso-oligotrophic region were associated with dominance of larger cladocerans and calanoid copepods and small algal species Phytoplankton growth rates in the northern bay averaged about 28% those of the eutrophic region. A unimodal phytoplankton growth response to increased grazing was observed in the northern bay, suggesting variation in positive (growth stimulating) and negative (grazing losses) effects of zooplankton on the phytoplankton.

Critical Components

From May to September in 1990 and 1991, 24 coastal wetland and beach sites in Green Bay, Lake Michigan, were sampled to investigate abiotic and biotic factors influencing fish assemblages; half the sites were modified by human developments, and half were relatively undeveloped. The greatest assemblage differences were observed among regions, but there also were strong differences among assemblages from different habitats. Degree of development had less of an effect on site differences, although assemblages at undeveloped wetlands were unique, and those from developed and undeveloped sites in the upper bay were relatively distinct. The most influential abiotic factors were turbidity, reflecting the trophic gradient in the bay, and a suite of variables associated with macrophyte coverage and diversity, which were critical components of nursery habitats for the primarily immature fishes we captured. The volatile and unpredictable nature of shoreline habitats in the Great Lakes apparently precluded competition and predation from having a strong organizing role. This study demonstrates that undeveloped wetlands are a valuable and intensely utilized fish habitat, particulartly as nursery areas, that should receive special consideration in ecosystem management plans for the Great Lakes.
