Abstract
SUMMARY. An increase in the trophic state and productivity of a lake is not necessarily accompanied by a decrease in epilimnetic Secchi disc transparency. In smaller lakes with sharp thermoclines the symptoms of eutrophication may be more evident as a decrease in transparency in the epilimnion but, in larger lakes with poorly defined thermoclines, symptoms of eutrophication may be more evident in the hypolimnion as shown by an increase in the rate of hypolimnetic oxygen consumption.
