Abstract	Long-term changes in Secchi disk transparency in Lake Nakaumi, Japan, from 1932 to the present, which includes the periods before and after the loss of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) beds, were compiled from previous reports. During the first (July 1932–February 1934) and the second (January 1949–November 1950) periods, the mean transparency was greater than 3 m at all observed stations. Data during the third period (July 1954–March 1956) are only available for the station at the center of the lake. The mean transparency during the third period was significantly lower than that of the second period but higher than the mean during the fourth period. This observation suggests that the decrease of transparency occurred during the third period. Because the decline of eelgrass beds in Lake Nakaumi occurred in the mid-1950s, the decrease of transparency most likely resulted from the shift in primary producers from submerged macrophytes to phytoplankton. Although the maximum transparency sometimes exceeded 3 m, mean transparencies during the fourth period (May 1975–December 2003) were less than 2 m at all stations, significantly lower than those during the first and second periods. The shift in the chief primary producer, from benthic macrophytes to phytoplankton, caused a subsequent shift in secondary producers. The opportunistic filter-feeding bivalve Musculista senhousia, regarded as a biofouling species of local fisheries, increased in Lake Nakaumi. The long-term monitoring data of transparency suggested that restoration of submerged aquatic vegetation may be indispensable for the remediation of the lake environment in this shallow eutrophic lagoon.
