	Lecture Notes on Composite Fish Culture and its Extension in India
		Floating weed harvesters have been used which consist of a barge with a conveyor system which lift the plants from water and carry them to the shore for disposal.
		For successful, control of weeds in fishery waters it is necessary to consider the type, age and density of infestation, cost of labour the feasibility of the method under local conditions, possible after-effects on the existing fishery.
		Hence for a fair assessment of the economics of weed control measures, the average cost of operations during a block period must be considered, keeping in mind the potential loss due to non-utilization of the weed chocked water body for fish culture.

		Floating weeds often are blown into a corner of the pond, where they can be scooped out with a fine mesh net.
		Typically, the heavier the growth of weeds, the smaller the area that should be treated in a single application.
		If you have a problem with a weed that grass carp are known to consume, stocking rates of at least 15 to 30 fish/acre are required to provide control within a year or two.

		Floating Weeds is a contemplative and quiet exploration of the dynamics between parents and their offspring, in this case between a father, his former mistress, and the son they share.
		Floating Weeds simply because it is a modern film with sound and extremely bright colors.
		A Story of Floating Weeds was made in the mid-1930's, so the comparison may not be entirely fair, but nevertheless, as a silent fl and white film, the picture shows great clarity and fl levels, with no wash-out of images.

	Ohio Pond Management, Bulletin 374-99, Controlling Weeds
		Biological control of weeds includes the maintenance of a level of fertility high enough to foster a good microscopic plant and animal population in the water (see discussion of fertility and fertilization in an earlier section, page 7).
		Emergent weeds, especially cattails, are a preferred food of muskrats, which may result in the use of shorelines protected by cattails and other emergent weeds for their burrows.
		If large amounts of floating or submerged weeds are killed at one time, their subsequent decomposition can result in an oxygen depletion and the death of fish from suffocation.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: A Story of Floating Weeds/Floating Weeds: The Criterion Collection
		A seriocomic reflection on the itinerant life of a aged traveling actor, Yasujiro Ozu's A Story of Floating Weeds (1934) was one of the filmmaker's final silent works, and it remains a fine example of the narrative inventiveness that would be less apparent in his later, more expansive and leisurely paced films.
		A Story of Floating Weeds is a particular marvel, speeding along visually at what constitutes a breakneck pace for Ozu, who eschews any semblance of establishing shots, lending the film a narrative fluency well ahead of its time.
		Floating Weeds was Ozu's first film at Daiei Studios, and, along with the fleeter pace, it stands in marked contrast to his work of that period thanks to its vibrant color, which is provided by the brilliant cinematographer, Kazuo Miyagawa, who shot a number of pictures for Akira Kurosawa and Kon Ichikawa.

	Floating Weeds
		With “Floating Weeds”, Ozu came to master the use of color photography, something he shunned most of his career, and failed to perfect with “Good Morning”, or “Equinox Flower”, both nice films, but not the masterpiece that “Floating Weeds” would be.
		Epitomized by the famous shouting match between Komajuro and Sumiko, separated (her left, him right) by a torrential downpour, in dark blues, “Floating Weeds” is a film that not only suggests the passing of time, and the unmistakable regret one feels after abandonment, but visualizes it in warm, and cold compositions.
		“Floating Weeds” is available, along with its predecessor, “A Story of Floating Weeds” on DVD from The Criterion Collection.

	BBC Gloucestershire Films - Floating Weeds (Ukigusa) Review
		Re-released to celebrate the centenary of Yasujiro Ozu's birth, "Floating Weeds" (Ukigusa) is one of the Japanese director's final films.
		It's a remake of his own 1934 silent pic "The Story of Floating Weeds", but second time round Ozu and co-writer Kôgo Noda shift the story's location to a sleepy seaside village in southern Japan, where a group of travelling players - the 'floating weeds' of the title - arrive by boat one sultry summer.
		"Floating Weeds" is richly atmospheric, with its expressive use of colour, lyrical cutaways, and masterly interior compositions - predominantly shot from Ozu's trademark low-level camera position - impressively illustrating the director's visual artistry.

		Setting his later version in a seaside location, Ozu otherwise preserves the details of his elegantly simple plot wherein an aging actor returns to a small town with his troupe and reunities with his former lover and illegitimate son, a scenario that enrages his current mistress and results in heartbreak for all.
		A Story of Floating Weeds is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1.

	Floating Weeds
		Subtle, lyrical, and delicately bittersweet, Floating Weeds offers an excellent introduction to the cinema of Yasujiro Ozu -- one of the greatest of all Japanese filmmakers, and until recently in the West, one of the least known.
		A remake of a story he first told in a 1934 silent film, Floating Weeds (1959) stands a bit apart from the bulk of Ozu's work, which primarily dealt with the middle-class mainstream.
		Ozu in Floating Weeds tells us a story, but at the same time he brings it to us through a child's eyes.

		The film itself concerns a traveling Kabuki troupe faced with dramatic revelations as they perform in a rural village: Their master has had a son from a former lover whom he is visiting for the first time in a dozen years.
		Like the river weed from which the films take their names, the Kabuki actors in both versions float from town to town, going where the course takes them and leaving behind nothing permanent.
		Although Floating Weeds is a "remake" of the silent version, there are several key differences between the two movies.

		It is very important that water weeds that are removed from garden ponds are either composted, buried or burnt.
		Several introduced pond weeds, widely available from garden centres, cause enormous problems where they escape or are introduced into the wild.
		Most water weeds float to the surface when cut and it is essential that as much as possible is removed from the water; left in place it decays leading to de-oxygenation.
