The fish communities in and the trophic states of lakes Mälaren and Hjälmaren have changed gradually since the late 1700s. In both lakes, pikeperch (Stizostedion lucioperca), Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis), and northern pike (Esox lucius) are important species in the recreational and commercial fishery. Pikeperch has increased from an unimportant species to predominance in both lakes. The importance of Eurasian perch however, has decreased markedly. The most likely explanation for these changes is increased cultural eutrophication. Key words: Percidae, pikeperch, Eurasian perch, northern pike, harvests, eutrophication, community change, behavior

We studied the cadmium concentrations in water, sediment, suspended particles, a free-swimming insect larva (Chaoborus), a sediment-bound insect larva (Chironomus), and liver of northern pike (Esox lucius) before and after liming operations in Lake Långsjön, Sweden. In accordance with the higher pH levels obtained in the lake water after the limings, cadmium concentration decreased in the water but increased in the sediment. Cadmium concentration in fish liver and Chironomus decreased after the limings whereas the concentration in Chaoborus larvae increased after the first liming. Possible mechanisms are discussed.
