The invention discloses an ecological method for controlling excessive proliferation of periphytic filamentous
algae through a submerged
plant patch mosaic pattern. The ecological method comprises steps as follows: 1),
water environment features including
water depth,
water flow, transparency, sediments, nutritive salts,
plankton and the filamentous
algae of a to-be-restored area are surveyed; 2), purse seining is performed by the aid of nylon ropes, a purse seine is dropped to be contacted with the sediments, and if a number of herbivorous fishes exist in the submerged
plant patch mosaic pattern restoration area, the herbivorous fishes are expelled manually; 3), submerged
plant species are selected according to the restoration area
water environment obtained through the survey; 4), the submerged plant patch mosaic pattern is designed according to
underwater ecological niche, growth and propagation features and
water level of submerged plants; 5), submerged planting is performed in a clustering manner according to the designed submerged plant patch mosaic pattern; 6), the growth vigor of the submerged plants is monitored regularly. With the adoption of the ecological method, the problems of low
survival rate and single
underwater ecological niche of the submerged plants are solved, and the cover degree of the restored submerged plants is up to 70%; abnormal proliferation of the low-grade periphytic filamentous
algae in a lake with
eutrophication is effectively controlled, and the growth rate of the periphytic filamentous algae is reduced by 35% averagely.
