				<link>http://news.uga.edu/releases/article/fish&#45;enormous&#45;nutrient&#45;impacts&#45;121112</link>
				<description>
				<![CDATA[
					Fish play a far more important role as contributors of nutrients to  marine ecosystems than previously thought, according to researchers at  the University of Georgia and Florida International University. In a  pair of papers in the journal Ecology, they show that fish contribute  more nutrients to their local ecosystems than any other source-enough to  cause changes in the growth rates of the organisms at the base of the  food web.
