We estimated consumption and excretion rates of terrestrial-borne phosphorus by a population of the insect-feeding fish species bleak (Alburnus alburnus) in a 0.12-km(2) mesotrophic take of the German lowlands. Fish abundance, growth rates, and diet composition were determined, and consumption and nutrient metabolism were calculated by a bioenergetics model. Mean bleak abundance was about 77,000 ind. km(-2). About 84% of bleak consumption consisted of terrestrial insects. Annual consumption of lake-external phosphorus (P) by bleak was 432 g, representing similar to 2.1% of the lake internal P-pool. Annual excretion of terrestrial-derived phosphorus by bleak was equivalent to similar to 11% of the mean epilimnetic SRP concentration. A substantial subsidy of lake nutrient pools by insectivorous fish is more likely in lakes <0.03 km(2) owing to the increasing perimeter-to-area ratio between donor and recipient habitats. Terrestrial nutrient subsidy by fish feeding may be important only in small oligotrophic lakes in forested areas.
