Salmonids have the potential to alter the energy and nutrient cycles of the Great Lakes system through increased energy transfer between open water and streams/tributaries. This energy transfer includes the addition of nitrogen and phosphorous to tributaries through decaying salmonine carcasses, as well as the addition of salmon eggs and dead fish as a food source in streams.

The presence of live salmonids may have an even greater effect on nutrients in streams through the excretion of ammonium and soluble reactive phosphorus and their mechanical disturbance of the stream bottom.
