1918 R. A. Muttkowski in Trans. Wisconsin Acad. Sci., Arts & Lett. 19 378 The lake as a whole may be divided into three general regions,—the littoral, or phytal region; the aphytal region; and pelagic region.

1926 A. S. Pearse Animal Ecol. vi. 210 Muttkowski uses ‘littoral’ as synonymous with ‘phytal’.., but in very turbid lakes the phytal zone may be thinner than that of wave action, and in clear, small lakes it may be thicker.
