During the regular flood in spring (usual rise is 0.75 metres (2 ft 6 in), max 1.16 m (3 ft 10 in)) Mullutu-Suurlaht merges with nearby Paadla, Vägara and Kaalupea bays and draws a temporary waterbody up to 3,600 ha (8,900 acres). Mullutu-Suurlaht is drained by the 3 km-long (1.9 mi) Nasva River. Due to a strong connection with sea through Nasva river the lake is rich in fish, main species include bleak, burbot, crucian carp, dace, eel, gudgeon, ide, perch, pike, ruffe, roach, rudd and tench.
