The Lake Conway model predicts that stocking white amur will decrease lake productivity and respiration, increase epipelic algae biomass for two years, and increase biomass of benthic invertebrates and biomass and number of secondary predator fish for at least nine years. Water quality, as defined by submersed macrophyte abundance, phytoplankton biomass, orthophosphate in the epilimnion, and amount of dead particulate matter in the water column, increases during to 10-y simulation. Because of the nature of white amur growth and assimilation rates, simulated grazing impact is heaviest three years after stocking. Carbon flow through both grazing and detritus food chains increases in the simulation, in spite of decreased photosynthesis.
