Abstract
Phosphorus (P) made up 0.3–0.5% of the wet weight of four species of fish. Nitrogen (N) accounted for a further 2.4–2.9%. If the maximum annual yield of fish was harvested from the lakes studied, less than 1% of the phosphorus and nitrogen entering the lake would be removed. On the basis of our data fish harvest would apparently not significantly slow nor reverse the process of eutrophication.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
