Fish stocking is used worldwide for conservation and management purposes but its effects on food-web dynamics and ecosystem stability are poorly known. To better understand these effects, an empirically validated network model was used to study a well-studied lake ecosystem. Two stocking scenarios with two native fish species valuable for fishing were simulated. In the first scenario, whitefish larvae were stocked in the ecosystem. This led to a minor increase in adult whitefish biomasses and decreased perch biomasses. In the second scenario, also perch larvae were stocked in the ecosystem. This led to a decrease in whitefish biomasses and in the biomass of the old perch, and destabilized the ecosystem. The effects of stocking depend on the species’ position in the food web and thus cannot be assessed without considering interacting species. Our results show that fish stocking can change dynamics of an aquatic food web and lead to undesired outcomes from both management and conservation perspective.

Food-web complexity, consumer behavior, and diet specialism: impacts on ecosystem stability
Perälä, Tommi; Kuisma, Mikael; Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva; Kuparinen, Anna (Springer Nature, 2024)Ecological stability is a fundamental aspect of food web dynamics. In this study, we explore the factors influencing stability in complex ecological networks, characterizing it through biomass oscillations and species ... -

Cross-ecosystem effects of stream restoration: biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
Muotka, Timo (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Stream restoration in Finland has traditionally focused on larger rivers, aiming to enhance the well-being of salmonid fishes. The key strategy has been to increase in-stream habitat heterogeneity, usually with at least ... -
A comparative study of the effect of UV and formalin inactivation on the stability and immunogenicity of a Coxsackievirus B1 vaccine
Hankaniemi, Minna M.; Stone, Virginia M.; Sioofy-Khojine, Amir-Babak; Heinimäki, Suvi; Marjomäki, Varpu; Hyöty, Heikki; Blazevic, Vesna; Laitinen, Olli H.; Flodström-Tullberg, Malin; Hytönen, Vesa P. (Elsevier Ltd, 2019)Type B Coxsackieviruses (CVBs) belong to the enterovirus genus, and they cause both acute and chronic diseases in humans. CVB infections usually lead to flu-like symptoms but can also result in more serious diseases such ... -
