A comparison of lakes and lake enclosures with contrasting abundances of planktivorous fish / A. Mazumder [and four others].: En13-5/89-41E-PDF

"Traditionally, it was thought that nutrients, particularly phosphorus, was solely responsible for the quantity and quality of the phytoplankton species composition in lakes. In the present investigation, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and planktivorous fish just over 1 year old were added to enclosures in a 2x2 factorial design. In this way, nutrienteffects could be distinguished from “top down" effects of the fish. Results were compared to other lakes with known levels of planktivorous fish"--Executive summary.
