In closed-system water basins, inhabited by guilletmots, fed on fish, the originally present Dutch coastal water (ca. 30 promille S) was enriched with respect to dissolved N and P ca. 10-50 times in 30-50 days, without significant harmfull effects. By using high pumping capacities and biologically active sand-beds filters 40-60% of the nitrogen introduced as food and 20-40% of P is mineralized in 30-50 days.
