Consumer-driven phosphorus recycling by fish in aquatic systems: retention and discarding of digested P by a cyprinid model under different conditions

Semi-purified research diet recipes, experimental design, fish stock and experimental feeding protocols are given in supplementary methods text file. Including calculations and formulas in both supplementary methods and main document text files. The dataset contains data of pre-trial, experiment 1 to 4 included in the manuscript. Parameters include: Experiment; Group; Replicate; Initial tank biomass; Final tank biomass; Feed digestible N; Feed bioavailable P; Food N: P (mass); Food N: P (molar); Non-faecal P loss; Non-faecal N loss; Non-faecal N:P loss (mass); Non-faecal N:P loss (molar); Body protein content; Body N content; Body P content; Body N:P (mass); Body N:P (molar); PUE; DRP losses. Groups include: experiment 1 to 3 diets (control, T1 to T3), pre-trial scaly versus scaleless, experiment-4 fed versus starved.
