The fish community in the shallow Lake Veluwe (3400 ha) has recently changed in composition. The total biomass of fish decreased to ca. 35% of the original biomass. The change in fish biomass followed the introduction of a commercial fishery and was in its turn followed by a rapid expansion of macro...
