Abstract
Diploid and triploid grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella) fed sago pondweed ( Potamogeton pectinatus) in a laboratory experiment, excreted about equal amounts of the phosphorus consumed (5.6%–6.7%), all apparently in an insoluble form in feces. Sequestering of phosphorus in grass carp tissue may explain the failure of algal blooms to occur when these fish are used for aquatic macrophyte control.
