The nutrient assimilation or reduction capability and production potential of all components within the integrated concept except the Corbicula stage have individually been demonstrated in the field. Using the mean P uptake values reported for stages 1 - 4 : 25 %, 50 % 20%, and 40 % respectively, a 99 % total uptake may be possible without including the less
significant removal by the Tilapia and baitfish harvesting as well as the littoral zone contributions
