Thanks Eric!

Elemental content averaged across all fish (n = 192) was 45.1% for C, 11.3% for N, and 2.45% for P.

So according this probably safe to assume removing 100lbs of fish will remove ~2.5lbs of phosphorus??

One more question... What is the relation between phosphate and phosphorus in water?? A water sample I took from my spring had .06 mg/l of Phosphate. That was straight out of the ground. A google search says natural waters contain .02ppm of phosphorus. Mine is 3x that right out of the ground if phosphate = phosphorus.
