Carp had a greater detrimental effect on macrophytes than the other fish species. A biomass over 200 kg ha-1 adversely affected macrophyte growth. 3. The decline in macrophytes was likely due to increased epiphyton growth from nutrient release by the fish, which reduced light and carbon dioxide availability for
