3rd International Symposium on Aquatic Mesocosm-Based Research, Antalya, Türkiye, 7-10 November 2023

##### Invitation To An Open Webinar

**Mesocosms:**
- Large volume (outdoor or indoor) experimental facilities containing salt or freshwater are a powerful tool used by many groups in Europe to understand aquatic systems.
- They have important potential applications for industry such as understanding pollutant behaviour and impacts, testing equipment under controlled conditions, understanding the behaviour of commercially important food species and determining the effect of different climate change mitigation strategies designed to deliver Carbon Credits.
- Building a successful industry to academia partnership to realise this potential is challenging, but when done right, highly rewarding for both parties.

**In this seminar:**
- We will showcase some of the most successful partnerships that are ongoing in the frame of AQUACOSM and AQUACOSM-plus projects.
- We will explore what makes a successful partnership, some do’s and don’ts and how to overcome common pitfalls.
- We are interested in contributions, however short or long, that bring practical experiences to this discussion. If you feel you can contribute, then we welcome your engagement!

**SS046 Mesocosm Based Experimental Studies to Address Challenges Emerging From Global Change on Stability of Aquatic Ecosystem**

**Keywords:** *mesocosm experiments, biodiversity, extreme events, ecosystem stability, nature-based solutions*

**Speakers:**
- Stella Berger, Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries ([IGB](https://www.igb-berlin.de/en))
- Jens Nejstgaard, Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB)
- Tatiana M Tsagaraki, [University of Bergen](https://www.uib.no/en), Department of Biological Sciences
- Meryem Beklioğlu, [Middle East Technical University](https://www.metu.edu.tr/)
- Behzad Mostajir, Marine Biodiversity, Exploitation and Conservation ([MARBEC](https://umr-marbec.fr/en/?lang=en)), [University of Montpellier](https://www.umontpellier.fr/en/)-[CNRS](https://www.cnrs.fr/en)-[Ifremer](https://en.ifremer.fr/)-[IRD](https://en.ird.fr/ocean-resources)

**Description:** Global climate change and other anthropogenic pressures have major impacts on the structure, biodiversity and functioning in aquatic ecosystems. Climate change pressures include transitional environmental change, increased variability and extreme events and long-term disturbance. It is still unclear how these pressures affect ecosystem responses, including their resilience and recovery. Large-scale mesocosm or enclosure experiments provide realistic settings by including higher system complexity in terms of species interactions at various trophic levels. Thus, mesocosm experiments are a powerful tool to obtain a mechanistic understanding of how various global changes and other anthropogenic pressures affect ecosystem responses. Moreover, mesocosms offer the unique ability to test possible measures to mitigate or counteract anthropogenic pressures through environmental engineering and nature-based solutions. We welcome presentations on empirical studies where scientific questions about various aspects of aquatic ecosystem functioning have been tested using mesocosms or similar ecosystem-level experimentations. We particularly invite scientists that study the effects of increasing variability and extreme events on resilience and recovery of biodiversity and ecosystem structure and functioning or regime shifts that change ecosystem structure and functions in response to global climate and environmental change. We strongly encourage early career scientists who have participated in the AQUACOSM or [AQUACOSM-plus Transnational Access (TA) programs](https://www.aquacosm.eu/transnational-access) to present their results from the mesocosm experiments. This session also aims to serve as a meeting point for all persons interested in ecosystem-scale experimentation on a global scale.

AQUACOSM-plus Fall Training School

![globalhab 4.png](https://storage.googleapis.com/aq-cms-content/globalhab_4_52c5da9bbf/globalhab_4_52c5da9bbf.png)

<h2>Aims and background</h2>
<p>Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are affecting aquatic ecosystems and human societies. Biotoxin-producing HABs species and species causing fish mortalities are problems for aquaculture, fisheries and also for tourism. HABs have caused mortality of marine mammals and pose a threat to human health. Ecosystem-disruptive HABs and highbiomass HABs may cause anoxia in deep water and some HABs result in a decrease in coastal water quality and fouling of beaches. High-frequency <em>in situ</em> observations of HABs and predators of HAB species are needed to be able to understand HAB dynamics, to develop predictive models of HABs and to produce well-founded warnings for HABs. In recent years, novel <em>in situ</em> instrumentation have been developed for automated high-frequency HAB detection in near-real time. In addition, instruments for observing grazers, i.e. microzooplankton and multicellular zooplankton have been developed. These instruments are now being adopted in research and piloted in monitoring programmes. Some of the instruments are becoming available commercially. The aim of the symposium is to bring together experts on, and users of, automated <em>in situ</em> imaging systems to present methods, recent results and to share experiences. Another aim is to carry out a comparison of results when analysing plankton communities quantitatively. Young scientists are particularly encouraged to attend the symposium and a special follow-on workshop for young scientists on data processing and report/article writing.</p>
<h2>A hybrid symposium</h2>
<p>Part of the symposium will be available on line. An evening session is planned for presentations made by participants not on-site.
