Observational
|
Field
|
Higher densities of carp and higher ratios of silver carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix
, to bighead carp, Hypophthalmichthys nobilis, contributed to the reduction of harmful cyanobacterial blooms and increased the water transparency.

Water Quality Benefit
|
Experimental
|
Field
|
In enclosure experiments with detritus additions, silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix
) acted as phosphorous sink and slowed the increase of total phosphorus in the water column. This phosphorous sequestering was a result of fish growth.

Laboratory
|
In experimental lab treatments with only silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), dissolved nitrogen concentrations were higher. Silver carp likely increased nitrogen through excretion.
