Impact Description | When silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)were present in ponds, organic carbon, nitrogen, and total phosphorous increased in bottom sediments, despite the decrease in nitrogen,
phosphorous, and dissolved. When those bottom sediments were disturbed by activities of other fishes, phytoplankton populations increased. These blooms could help remove certain nutrients from water. |
