how can carp make up 90% of the lake's biomass? biomass would include whatever the carp eat, would include plants that live in the lake and other non-fish species of animals. i suspect that carp make up 90% of the fish in the lake, not 90% of all life in the lake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6:5600:5AC:1535:B17B:93B4:1DDB ( talk) 02:52, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
Some mention should be made of the huge carp population, which contributes to the poor water quality by stirring up silt and eating vegetation. see http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,615152300,00.html http://www.harktheherald.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=64866 http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,595076665,00.html
We should also mention the recently released fish consumption advisory for elevated levels of PCBs in carp.
OK, I created the "Utah Lake ecosystem" section, but I can' possibly fill it up on my own. things that need to be added off the top of my head include:
While it's great that an infobox was created for the article, must it really be in metric units? Metric units may be the most common in the world, but this is the United States, and many Americans (such as me) can't comprehend the metric system nearly as well as they can the American system. bob rulz 09:59, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Just figured I'd post this story for anyone who cares to read it. Perhaps we can squeeze it into the article somewhere.
Apparently someone was fishing from Provo Boat harbor and caught either a piranha or a pacu, which, for those who are wondering, are not exactly native. These have been caught before in the Jordan River in 1992 and 2004, and many anglers have reported catching them and releasing them. -- Lethargy 19:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm looking for several photos, if anyone can provide any of these listed below (or any of the lake, for that matter) you will have my eternal (well, almost) gratitude.

"With a surface area of 96,900 acres (392 km2), it is the 3rd largest natural freshwater lake west of the Great Lakes" is false. Mille Lacs is 128,000 acres, Leech Lake is 100,000+ acres, Devils' Lake is around 100,000 acres. I guess I'm not sure if Devils' can be considered a fully natural lake, and the Federal Dam may increase the size of Leech a small bit, but Mille Lacs for sure is 100% natural.

Seems like fresh water in the desert would be in high demand. Is any of the water in the lake or its sources used for drinking or irrigation? Beland ( talk) 21:48, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
