Abstract

Approximately one‐third of organic seston in western Lake Erie was estimated to be living algae; the remainder was mainly detritus. The amount of detrital carbon was least in summer and maximal in autumn. Allochthonous organic matter, particularly municipal and industrial wastes, and resuspended sediments were considered to be major sources of detritus.
