| Impact Description | Higher biomass of Cyprinus carpio in experimental pond enclosures were positively related to phosphorus level, turbidity, and zooplankton biomass and negatively related to abundance of macroinvertebrates and macrophytes. In comparison, Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), a native benthivore, affected phosphorus concentration and zooplankton communities, but had no significant effect on turbidity, macroinvertebrates, macrophytes, or suspended solids. |
