Relatively few studies have been conducted on the utilization of aquatic weeds. Little (1968) listed 50 papers on the subject, and only a few reports have been published since his compilation. During recent months interest in the utilization of aquatic plants has increased, particularly with respect to the use of these plants for nutrient removal. The need for aquatic plant management as opposed to the eradication of water weeds with herbicides in receiving increased recognition. Studies and applications of aquatic weed utilization and management will require information on chemical composition, nutrition, production and ecology of aquatic plants. Data on nutrient relationships in aquatic environments will also be needed. Appendix I includes references to papers on the subjects listed above. This compilation is obviously not a complete bibliography of the literature on vascular aquatic plants. However, these selected references will be useful to research workers.
