摘要： The Geheyan Reservoir, located on the Qingjiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, is important for regional water supplies and ecological conservation. Understanding changes in ecosystem structure and function has become critical for assessing efficacy after the implementation of a fishing ban. This study employs the Ecopath model to examine the ecosystem characteristics of the Geheyan Reservoir before (2017) and after (2022) the fishing ban. The results show significant differences in trophic levels, energy transfer efficiency, and ecosystem maturity between the two periods. The trophic levels increased from 3.36 pre-fishing ban to 3.89 post-ban, indicating an enhanced complexity in the food web structure. The highest eco-trophic efficiency for major commercial fish species increased after the ban, indicating improved energy utilization efficiency. However, energy transfer bottlenecks were still observed between trophic levels II and IV, suggesting ongoing challenges in nutrient cycling. The total primary production-to-total respiration ratio (6.93) and the connectivity index (0.25) indicate that the ecosystem's maturity and stability have improved after the fishing ban. These findings underscore the ban's effectiveness and provide a scientific foundation for sustainable management of Geheyan Reservoir and similar ecosystems in the Yangtze River Basin.
