Figure S1. Temporal changes in mean water temperature (a), pH (b), and dissolved oxygen (c) in the water column, and extinction coefficient (m-1) (d) in the no shade (blue), low shade (orange), mid shade (red), and high shade sections (gray) of pond 217 (circle and sold line) and pond 218 (square and dashed line).
Figure S2. Vertical profiles of water temperature in the no shade (upper), low shade (mid-upper), mid shade (mid-lower), and high shade sections (lower) of pond 217 (left) and pond 218 (right).
Figure S3. Temporal changes in chlorophyll a (a), phytoplankton biomass (b), and fraction of edible phytoplankton (c) in the water column of no shade (blue), low shade (orange), mid shade (red), and high shade sections (gray) of pond 217 (circle and sold line) and pond 218 (square and dashed line).
Figure S4. Temporal changes in zooplankton biomass (a),H /P biomass ratio (b) daily production rate (c), and fish abundance (d) in the water column of no shade (blue), low shade (orange), mid shade (red), and high shade sections (gray) of pond 217 (circle and sold line) and pond 218 (square and dashed line).
Figure S5. Mean biomasses of zooplankton taxa during the experimental run in the no shade, low shade, mid shade, and high shade sections of pond 217 and pond 218.
Figure S6. Mean biomasses of phytoplankton taxa during the experimental run in the no shade, low shade, mid shade, and high shade sections of pond 217 and pond 218.
Figure S7. Temporal changes in total phosphorus concentration (a), sestonic carbon (b) seston C:P ratio (c) and seston N:P rations (d) in the water column of no shade (blue), low shade (orange), mid shade (red), and high shade sections (gray) of pond 217 (circle and sold line) and pond 218 (square and dashed line).
Figure S8. Chlorophyll-a specific photosynthetic rates plotted against the mean PAR in June 14 (blue), July 11 (red), and August 22 (gray) in the no shade (C), low shade (L), mid shade (M), and high shade sections (H) of pond 217 (upper) and 218 (lower). Each response curve was obtained by fitting data to non-rectangular hyperbola models.
Figure S9. Mean abundance of fish taxa during the experimental run in the no shade, low shade, mid shade, and high shade sections of pond 217 and pond 218. Vertical bars denote SE on the mean (N = 7).
Table S1. Temporal means and standard errors (parenthesis) of plankton biomasses, primary production rate, fish abundance, and sestonic elemental ratios in each treatment of the pond 217 and 218 during the experiment.
Table S2. Results of generalized linear models with the five lowest Akaike’s information criterion values. Parameter are shown in Table. 1.
