 Defining Trophic State
All of these indices are “trophic state indices.” They are predicated on the ideas that: (1) the “trophic state” of a lake is an important water quality variable; and (2) indices can determine not only the trophic character of the water body, but also if it is usable for fishing or swimming.
A major oversight in the use of algal biomass as the definer of trophic state is that it ignores the presence and importance of aquatic macrophytes in the determination of the trophic state.
The trophic state index of Carlson (1977), which is based on plant biomass, is recommended as the simplest method of relating trophic state concepts to volunteers.
