- Lake_Alaotra abstract "Lake Alaotra (French: Lac Alaotra) is the largest lake in Madagascar, located in Toamasina Province, in the northern central plateau. Its basin is composed of shallow freshwater lakes and marshes surrounded by areas of dense vegetation. It forms the center of the island's most important rice-growing region. It is a rich habitat for wildlife, including some rare and endangered species, as well as an important fishing ground. Lake Alaotra and its surrounding wetlands cover 7,223 square kilometres (2,789 sq mi), and include a range of habitats, including open water, reedbeds, marshes, and rice paddies. The lake itself covers 900 square kilometres (350 sq mi) . Lake Alaotra was declared a wetland of international importance under the international Ramsar Convention on February 2, 2003.The Longfin tilapia (Oreochromis macrochir) was introduced into Lake Alaotra from the mainland in 1954, and proliferated quickly.By 1957 it provided 46% of the catch, perhaps because it was moving into an empty ecological niche as a phytophagous species.The fertile plain surrounding lake Lake Alaotra is Madagascar's most important rice-producing region. The hills surrounding the lake were formerly forested, but have mostly been cleared for farmland in past decades. Severe erosion on these vulnerable hill slopes has caused considerable sedimentation of the lake, which is fast disappearing; the lake is now only 60 centimetres (24 in) deep during the dry season. Pressure to create more rice fields has also led locals to burn the reedbeds surrounding the lake. These reedbeds provide the sole habitat of the endemic Alaotra Gentle Lemur (Hapalemur griseus alaotrensis). The Alaotra Gentle Lemur is now limited to only 220 square kilometres (85 sq mi) of remaining reedbeds, and in recent years the lemur population rapidly declined by 60%, from approximately 7,500 individuals in 1994 to 3,000 in 2001, mostly from habitat loss, but also from hunting by local villagers.The lake is also an important but increasingly threatened habitat for waterbirds, including the endangered Meller's Duck (Anas melleri). Two waterbird species were endemic to northern Madagascar, the Madagascar Pochard (Aythya innotata) and the Alaotra Grebe (Tachybaptus rufolavatus. The Madagascar Pochard is now critically endangered and no longer found on the lake itself, although very small numbers exist elsewhere. The Alaotra Grebe was declared extinct in 2010. In earlier times, Lake Alaotra was where the largest numbers lived, the near-flightless grebe may never have occurred elsewhere except in the immediate area of the lake.The Ambato River provides the Lake with water and also drains it. After 381 km the river flows into the Indian Ocean.".
