A recent discovery by the FFPW USB has improved our understanding of nutrient cycling and algal blooms in freshwater. The research shows that fish, after digesting their food, release nutrients, which can lead to eutrophication due to natural deficiencies in their diet. The key issue lies in fish metabolism. By adjusting fish feeding to compensate for these deficiencies, we can reduce the amount of phosphorus they release, limit algae growth, and help fish absorb more phosphorus from the water. This approach could help control nutrient levels and prevent excessive algal blooms in shallow lakes and fishponds.
