| Title | Fish Nutrient Cycling, Aquatic Respiration, and Terrestrial Insect Nutrient Subsidies to Lakes |
| Creator | Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. |
| Description | Mehner et al. (2005) reported that fish feeding on terrestrial insects could be important for nutrient budgets and cycling in lakes. They studied bleak (Alburnus alburnus) that fed largely on terrestrial insects, and they suggested that this contributed 2.1% of the lake's nutrient budget and that the subsequent excretion by the fish was equivalent to 11% of epilimnetic dissolved phosphorus concentrations. They concluded that nutrients delivered to lakes via terrestrial insects and recycled by... |
