摘要

Abstract

To understand the factors causing frequent outbreaks of harmful algae blooms in the Taihu Lake

China

we studied water quality and nutrient budget in Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) farm ponds in the eastern part of the lake from November 2007 to December 2009. We estimated the nitrogen (N)

phosphorus (P)

and chemical oxygen demand (COD) loads. Materials input and output ponds

water exchange

and applied management practices of 838.5-hm2 crab ponds were surveyed using questionnaires. Water quality of 12 ponds

which were located no more than 2 km from East Taihu Lake

were monitored. The results show that water quality in the crab ponds was better than reference data. Feeds

including corn seed

commercial feed

trash fish

and gastropod

were the major sources of N and P input in the crab ponds

contributing 88.7% and 94.9%

respectively. In total

60.5% of N and 37.3% of P were sequestered by macrophytes

and only 15.7% and 8.5% of them were discharged as effluent. The net loads of N and P in effluent were 16.43 kg/hm2/cycle and 2.16 kg/hm2/cycle

respectively

while the COD load was −17.88 kg/hm2/cycle. This indicated that crab farming caused minor negative impact on the trophic status of the lake area

which was attenuated by macrophytes. However

wastewater purification is still necessary in crab faming.
