S05 Hypoxia Impacts on Aquatic Food Web Composition, Dynamics, and Production
Organizers: David G Kimmel, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Horn Point Laboratory, dkimmel@hpl.umces.edu and Stuart A Ludsin, NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, Stuart.Ludsin@noaa.gov
The prevalence of low dissolved oxygen (hypoxia) in marine, coastal, estuarine and freshwater systems has increased in recent decades. The mechanisms for the generation and persistence of hypoxic areas are generally understood. Also well established is the fact that hypoxia can affect individual organism physiology, behavior and survival. It is clear that hypoxia alters the distribution of biota through both space and time. However, the impact that hypoxia has on aquatic food webs is less clear. Further understanding of how hypoxia affects carbon flow through the food web and production at higher trophic levels (e.g., zooplankton, fish) is essential. This knowledge will be necessary for ecosystem-based management of living resources in areas with chronic hypoxia. As such, we encourage submissions that explore the role of hypoxia in affecting aquatic food webs, including their structure, function, dynamics and production.
