Abstract: An ecological engineering was conducted for eutrophication control in the Nanhu Lake of Changchun.In 1996,the removal of phosphorus by harvesting aquatic macrophytes and fishes was 149.6kg and 189.9kg,respectively,and the phosphorus fixed in molluscs was 153.4kg.The total output was 492.9kg,which amounted approximately to the annual phosphorus input of the lake.After ecological engineering,the water quality turned better,the TP concentration in lake water decreased,the phytoplankton density reduced,and the number of phytoplankton species increased.The roles of molluscs and fish in controlling lake eutrophication should be further studied.Ecological engineering is an ideal method to control the eutrophication of urban lakes.
