“…An examination of late summer data from 1982-1990 revealed little change in epilimnetic temperature or chemistry (Table 1). The conductivity increase that occurred between 1982 and 1988 has been attributed to the cumulative inputs of road salt and not evaporative loss (Bridgeman et al 2000). It is unlikely that an increased NaCl concentration was responsible for the disappearance of Ceriodaphnia and Bosmina.…”

The predaceous cladoceran Leptodora kindti (Focke) became established in Third Sister Lake, Michigan, after individuals escaped from experimental enclosures in 1987. By 1988, the Leptodora population exhibited seasonal dynamics characteristic of natural populations. The maximum seasonal abundance of Leptodora increased to 85 individuals m Ϫ3 3 yr following the introduction. After the appearance of Leptodora, small-bodied cladocerans (Ceriodaphnia and Bosmina) virtually disappeared from the lake. There were strong seasonal shifts in the dominance patterns of both cladocerans and copepods, and Daphnia species diversity increased. Results from this unplanned introduction suggest that invertebrate predators can have a rapid and lasting effect on prey populations, even in the presence of planktivorous fish. Small-scale (Ͻ20 km) geographic barriers might be as important as large-scale barriers to dispersal of planktonic animals.Both planktivorous fish and invertebrate predators have the potential to structure crustacean zooplankton communities through size selective predation. Planktivorous fish that feed visually select the largest available prey while invertebrate predators remove smaller individuals (Zaret 1980). Whereas the effects of planktivorous fish on zooplankton community structure are well established (Brooks and Dodson 1965;Hall et al. 1976), the effects of invertebrate predators are less clear. Large predatory zooplankton, such as Chaoborus and certain calanoid copepods (e.g., Hesperodiaptomus, Heterocope), are often abundant in the absence of fish and can inflict considerable mortality on populations of small-bodied prey (Von Ende and Dempsey 1981;Luecke and O'Brien 1983;Elser et al. 1987;McNaught et al. 1999). Such intense predation can lead to the exclusion of smallbodied species, thereby changing the size structure of the zooplankton community (Dodson 1974;Luecke and O'Brien 1983;Black and Hairston 1988;Hanazato and Yasuno 1989). When fish are present, large nonmigratory inverte-

“…Rising chloride concentrations have been observed in lakes of northern urban areas or near major roadways due to the application of road de-icing salt in the watershed (Scott 1979;Bubeck and Burton 1989;Rosenberry et al 1999;Dixit et al 1999;Bridgeman et al 2000;Thunqvist 2003;Novotny et al 2008). Road salt (NaCl) is 60.7% chloride by weight.…”

“…Benthic organisms are also affected by the lack of oxygen. (2) Elevated chloride concentration can cause damage to aquatic life: In lake sediments, biodiversity of the benthic community is adversely affected by increased chloride concentrations (Bridgeman et al 2000). In the lake waters, elevated chloride concentrations decrease the biodiversity of diatoms causing halophilic taxa to increase in relative abundance (Tuchman et al 1984).…”

The chloride concentrations of urban lakes where road de-icing salt (NaCl) is used have increased to levels that can change natural lakemixing behavior and influence aquatic life. A zerodimensional model was formulated to project the long-term accumulation of chloride in urban lakes receiving runoff from roads on which road salt is applied. Four model parameters and an initial concentration were obtained by calibrating the model with 5 years (2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008) of monthly salinity data from seven lakes in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Twin Cities Metropolitan Area of Minnesota, USA. Three of the seven lakes appear headed towards year-round volume averaged chloride concentrations above the 230-mg/L chronic standard for impairment to aquatic habitat. The two lakes with the lowest projected equilibrium concentrations of chloride have already reached equilibrium. One lake is projected to take an additional 40 years to reach equilibrium under current climate conditions and current road salt application rates. If road salt application rates are reduced in future winters, it is projected that the lakes will respond with noticeably lower chloride concentrations within 5 to 10 years. If road salt applications are discontinued altogether, chloride concentrations are projected to drop to natural levels within 10 to 30 years in all seven lakes. A reduction of application rates by 50% would result in annual volumetric average chloride concentrations below the chronic standard.
