Abstract
The behaviour and characteristics of suspended solids were examined using a sediment trap method at Hinuma Lake, a shallow estuarine lake, from November of 2007 to January of 2008. In a vertically well-mixed period, phytoplankton accounted for 17% in suspended solids. Hence, particulate organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in suspended solids derived largely from phytoplankton. In contrast, only 4-6% of phytoplankton occupied in suspended solid in a stratification period. Fluid muds, resuspended due to wind, were likely to be a contributor for particulate organic carbon in suspended solids.
