“…Eco-bioengineering enhances classical biomanipulation methods by combining it with technical interventions of nutrient (N, P) retention and prevention of nutrient release from sediments and internal nutrient transfer processes (Søndergaard et al 2013). Advanced biomanipulation practices involve manipulation of biological agents combined with non-biological agents like addition of biological products (barley straw) and chemicals (alum, rotenone), and physical treatment (draining, dredging), and reconstruction of previous environmental conditions by modelling nutrient dynamics and ecological dynamics (Mustapha 2010; Webber 2014; He et al 2011).In innovative eco-bioengineering methods, nutrient (C, N, and P) and chlorophyll-a are not always considered as key eutrophication drivers, some unique features like algal biomass, sprat spawning stock biomass (SSB), pesticides, organic pollutants, hydrochemical variables and the whole ecological niche may modulate water quality, DO levels, nutrient enrichment, chlorophyll-a levels and exacerbation of nutrients and trophic status(Lindegren et al 2010;Skov et al 2019, Sharma 2015Sharma et al 2010;Bernes et al 2013). A list of ecobioengineering approaches and their effective outcomes are detailed in Table.…”
