Can fish introductions alter nutrient cycles in previously fishless high-latitude lakes?

Can fish introductions alter nutrient cycles in previously fishless high-latitude lakes?

<p>The additional input and enhanced cycling of nutrients derived from introduced fish can be a significant factor altering nutrient dynamics in oligotrophic lakes. To test this, we used a bioenergetic model to estimate the fish-derived nutrient load in Lake Kuutsjärvi, a historically fishless...
