DrPlanktonguy, 
Great Slave Lake is the deepest lake in North America at 614 m. The ice cover that is so fundamental to its function is reducing under warming from #ClimateChange. This has shifted the diatom #phytoplankton from larger chain-formers to smaller single-celled algae. This is a major #FoodWeb shift and it will be interesting to have a chance to look at the #zooplankton community shift once samples start coming in. This almost certainly will impact Cisco forage #fishes. #GSL
