Harmful Algal Blooms and Aquaculture
Harmful Algal Blooms and how they are Linked to Aquaculture
Abstract
Harmful algal blooms cause a wide range of negative effects on aquaculture. These effects are come from the complexity of harmful algal species; the toxins they create and morphology they have adapted. Science still lacks a full understanding of factors that are envolved in blooms formation. Aquaculture and harmful algal blooms are directly related because it is one of many anthropogenic factors that unintentionally produce the conditions that promote harmful algal blooms. The methods of production, feeds used, waste produced can lead to nutrient loading and eutrophic conditions by releasing essential nutrients into water that are necessary for algal growth. Phosphorus and nitrogen compounds are two of the main byproducts or aquaculture that are associated with bloom formation. To minimize the effects of harmful algal blooms on aquaculture you must understand the diversity and complexity of harmful algal blooms and their relationship with aquaculture.

    Microcystis is a form of cyanobacteria, which is not a true form of algae but a more photosynthetic bacteria (Dalogul, 4). High levels of algae accumulate on the surface of lakes producing large blanket like abundance of algae called blooms (Borre, 1). Environmental impacts caused by algae can be seen through low oxygen conditions produced from the decay of excessive amounts of algal growth. When the conditions permit it (often during warm weather), the algae form at a more substantial rate and facilitate a toxic bloom. Blooms do occur naturally, however they become enriched with nutrients (phosphorus fertilizer run off) from industrial and agricultural influences (Dalogul, 3). Powerful toxins produced can travel through the food web of a marine ecosystem and affect seabirds, marine animals and humans, which potentially can be fatal (Seaweb, 2). Humans can contract aliments from the algae as well, by breathing air borne toxins by coming in contact with it physically or consuming contaminated shellfish. There are two types of toxins produced by Microcystis: Neurotoxins and Hepato-toxins These toxins affect surrounding ecosystems, and more specifically marine life of the Lake. Neurotoxins will affect nervous and respiratory systems, which cause muscle tremors, staggering and often within 30 minutes, death. Hepato-toxins, affect the liver, which results in a slow…

    Discussion Questions 1. Phytoplankton are the organisms that were the most abundant in my sample, specifically from the Protista kingdom 2. I think that phytoplankton are more indicative of oligotrophic lakes, where-as zooplankton are more indicative of eutrophic lakes. I think this because, since phytoplankton are capable of producing their own energy, they don't need the nutrients that eutrophic lakes offer, and they would probably prefer all the sunlight in the oligotrophic lakes which they would need to photosynthesize. The opposite is true for zooplankton, they depend on the nutrients from eutrophic lakes and they do not enjoy sunlight. 3. If pool algaecide was spilled in Lake St.George it would greatly damage the natural habitat and it would be hazardous to the habitants of the lake. Also, because Lake St.George drains into other lakes, it would not only harm Lake St.George but it may also harm the lakes that it feeds into. 4.

    Toxins from horticulture have influenced the marine 's biological community in ways that may not be reversible, and may likewise be gradually hurting waterways, streams, and waterfront waters. Pesticides and compost are two noteworthy segments that have irritated the marine 's environment; both contain unsafe chemicals that can be perilous to living life forms in the water. Compost and pesticide keep running off from substantial ranches may have started blasts of marine green growth which may disturb the sea 's biological community by creating monstrous sprouts in marine waters (Schwartz, 2005). Winds cause nitrogen and different supplements from the ocean bottom to surface, which advance the development of green growth called phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is a primary wellspring of nourishment for some living creatures in the marine waters. Farming toxins may have activated phytoplankton to deliver unsafe blossoms in tides, which are radiating noxious poisons to marine life. These noxious poisons are hazardous in light of the fact that the oxygen levels are step by step decreasing in waters, which may have fatal results for marine life (Schwartz, 2005).…

    The Blue Crab supports the Chesapeake Bay of being healthier than expected due to it helping the cycle continue to circulate and as it continues to circulate the organisms which consume other living things which contaminate the water which keeps it cleaner as well as healthier than it is expected to be. Though the water does become a little bit healthier it does not become healthy enough for all the organisms to be able to live an ordinary life cycle and easily survive. As time passes by and the life cycle continues there are several organisms which interfere with the cycle such as the algae which is harmful to many aquatic plants and animals. This alga plays quite a large role in decreasing the population of the blue crabs as well as other organisms. The reason this algae is harmful is because it intoxicates the Chesapeake Bay water which leads to intoxicated animals and obviously to the death of the animals. Another way algae interferes with the cycle is that in some occasions there is a high abundance of algae which leads to the blocking of the sun and with out sun the plants are unable to grow and they die and this harms the blue crabs as well as other plant eaters. Also the blocking of the sun may kill fish and also causes there to be nasty odors. The alga has not only harmed the aquatic plants, animals and the…
