The total amount of P contained in the grain and straw of rice plants, and in the aquatic animals were determined by multiplying the biomass of rice (grain and straw) and aquatic animals by the percentage of P in rice and aquatic animals that were analyzed with a San++ Continuous Flow Analyzer (Skalar, Netherlands) (Lu, 1999).
