Talk:Utah Lake

message: how can carp make up 90% of the lake's biomass?  biomass would include whatever the carp eat, would include plants that live in the lake and other non-fish species of animals.  i suspect that carp make up 90% of the fish in the lake, not 90% of all life in the lake.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6:5600:5AC:1535:B17B:93B4:1DDB (talk) 02:52, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Carp population 

message: OK, I created the "Utah Lake ecosystem" section, but I can' possibly fill it up on my own. things that need to be added off the top of my head include:
*Native species of fish and how many remain in the lake
*The effects carp and other non-native species have had on the lake and native species
*Non-native species that have been introduced and, if possible, when and why.
*Cleanup for grammar, punctuation, etc. (speaking of which, I'll just correct my spelling of the word "grammar")--Lethargy 10:56, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Just figured I'd post this story for anyone who cares to read it. Perhaps we can squeeze it into the article somewhere.
Apparently someone was fishing from Provo Boat harbor and caught either a piranha or a pacu, which, for those who are wondering, are not exactly native. These have been caught before in the Jordan River in 1992 and 2004, and many anglers have reported catching them and releasing them.

message: I'm looking for several photos, if anyone can provide any of these listed below (or any of the lake, for that matter) you will have my eternal (well, almost) gratitude.
*Boating, waterskiing, or other water sports on the lake.
*Fishing at the lake.
*Fish from the lake, so we can use photos of fish actually taken at Utah Lake, rather than a general photo of the fish.
*Birds at the lake.
*Photos of the Utah Lake Wetland Preserve.
*Photos of Utah Lake State Park.
*The Pump house on the Jordan River, or the Jordan River itself.
*The Provo River, where it enters the lake.

thread_title:  Utah Lake monster 

message: "With a surface area of 96,900 acres (392 km2), it is the 3rd largest natural freshwater lake west of the Great Lakes" is false. Mille Lacs is 128,000 acres, Leech Lake is 100,000+ acres, Devils' Lake is around 100,000 acres. I guess I'm not sure if Devils' can be considered a fully natural lake, and the Federal Dam may increase the size of Leech a small bit, but Mille Lacs for sure is 100% natural.

message: Seems like fresh water in the desert would be in high demand. Is any of the water in the lake or its sources used for drinking or irrigation? Beland (talk) 21:48, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
