The average ratio of this income to its components(total organic carbon income: phytoplankton production: periphyte production: feed casted) is 1∶ 073∶ 011∶ 016. (2) The total outcome of organic carbon fluctuated between 3 31028 and 3 97479 g, averaging (3 64421±28144) g.
On the basis of the gross production of phytoplankton,the potential productivity of the silver and bighead carps,the rational stocking amount and stocking rate of their fingerlings were estimated.
Comparison of the planktonic copepod ration with phytoplankton production shows that the energy demands of the copepod community are met by consumption of phytoplankton and, probably, also bacterioplankton and detritus.
It is found that the amount of Si is excessive everywhere and that phytoplankton production is limited by phosphate and mineral nitrogen deficiency in virtually equal degrees.
The potential fish productivity of Dong Hu according to the method of energybudget, the food supplying capacity of phytoplankton for the silver and bighead carpsand their conversion rate, and the potential productivity of the two species and therational stocking rate of their fingerlings are estimated. The annual net production of phytoplankton of Dong Hu is 80% of its grossproduction, offering a food-supplying capacity of 10, 025 tons of oxygon, or 35, 188×10~6 Kcal., equal to 61,153 tons (fresh weight) of...
In this paper the primary productivity of phytoplankton in Baohe Lake, Hefei,was determinated by meansof light and dark bottle technique.On the basis of the gross production of phytoplankton,the potential productivity of the silver and bighead carps,the rational stocking amount and stocking rate of their fingerlings were estimated.
This study was conducted in ten net cages located in the reservoir and in eight concrete 3-M3 ponds divided into two groups. one with mud from the reservoir and the other without any mud for 20 days. Silver carp and bighead carp fingerlings (2:1) were stocked into the test ponds and the net cages at different density, and the ponds and the cages without fish were used as the control treatment. Contents of various chemicals in the water were analysed and the plankton biomass, primary production from phytopla...
