The 2017 test experiment was conducted in the SITES AquaNet mesocosm facilities in five different lakes at the following locations:
Lake Feresjön, Asa Research Station
Lake Bolmen, Bolmen Research Station (a SITES associated station)
Lake Erken, Erken Laboratory
Lake Erssjön, Skogaryd Research Catchment
Lake Stortjärn, Svartberget Research Station
The experiment was performed in two different seasons (spring and summer), each consisting of a 2x2 factorial design of pulse and press disturbances ("C" = controls, "F" = fish pulse, "L" = light reduction press, "FL" = fish pulse and light reduction press combined) with four replicates per treatment.
