Abstract
Coefficients of determination between fish yields in Lake Balaton (kg/ ha) and different measurements of phytoplankton abundance were: phytoplankton biomass (0.48), chlorophyll a (0.45). The same indices for catch per unit of effort (CUE) proved to be 0.82 and 0.88, respectively. The correlation between fish yields and phytoplankton density has been described in second-degree polynomials.
