TL;DR
Biotic changes following fish removal resulted in a development in oligotrophic direction as shown by the drop in limnetic primary production, pH, total phosphorus, total nitrogen and the increased transparency.
Abstract
The impact of the fish population on trophic properties of lake water, was experimentally studied in an oligotrophic Swedish forest lake. Biotic changes following fish removal resulted in a development in oligotrophic direction as shown by the drop in limnetic primary production, pH, total phosphorus, total nitrogen and the increased transparency.

The flux of "P from fully labeled Duphniu rosea" has been used to produce a multiple regression model relating the rate of phosphorus release to temperature, food cell concentration, food phosphorus content, and animal dry weight, which appears to support other tracer studies in suggesting that experiments of long duration substantially underestimate the excretion rates of aquatic animals.
Limnology and OceanographyFeeding characteristics and predation impact of Chaoborus (Diptera, Chaoboridae) larvae in a small lake1
146 Citations1975Alice Y. Fedorenko
Chaoborus predation on Eunice Lake zooplankton appears to be reduced by seasonal and spatial segregation of predator and prey and by size incompatibility.
EcologyMortality in a Population of Daphnia Rosea

The hypothesis that Chaoborus larvae are significant predators of the D. rosea population, and that the rate of theDaphnia population's growth is significantly influenced by predation pressure, is supported.

Diurnal variation between instars in food composition cannot be explained simply on the basis of the vertical distributions of predators and prey, but an interaction of vertical distribution with prey density and predator selectivity does explain the overall Chaoborus feeding pattern.

All crustacean species except one reached prerotenone abundance in about 3 years, probably the minimum time for recovery in these lakes, and Diaptomus sicilis was the last species to recover to its original numbers.

Comparisons in fish stomachs and net plankton showed a clear preference for the larger species, B. coregoni, and a larger mean size in the stomachs of the smaller species, Bosmina longirostris.

Biweekly sampling of the open water, shore edge, and marsh area prior to and for 6 months following treatment provided quantitative and qualitative measurements of zooplankton populations, and the rare appearance of large numbers of males and usually early ephippial-egg-bearing female Cladocera were observed.
OikosDifferential Predation by Fish on Two Species of Chaoborus (Diptera, Chaoboridae)
39 Citations1978Jan A. E. Stenson
Larvae of the two species Chaoborus obscuripes and C. flavicans differ with respect to shape and behaviour, which are significant for a visually dependent predator, and may hence be more susceptible to fish predation.
