In this research paper‚ readers will be able to know about algal blooms or commonly known as red tide. This is a situation wherein algae reproduce easily because of the chemicals that flows through different bodies of water. Algal bloom is also connected in climate changes we encounter in this century. It’s either the algae reproduce easily by the climate or the algae are having hard times reproducing for the same reason. It can also be observed in aquariums. An experiment is given for the readers

Consequences of Algal Blooms Algae are chlorophyll containing organisms which occur in both marine and freshwater environments and can be unicellular or multi-cellular. Algae form the base of many food chains and are essential to marine life. However although algae are beneficial to aquatic life‚ the rapid multiplication of algae can form something commonly referred to as algal blooms. Algal blooms occur due to a number of factors. If there is a decrease in the number of grazers in the

of algal blooms and their effect on environment and society. There are still a lot that is not known about the algal bloom phenomenon‚ and many different hypotheses have been presented to explain these. Throughout the course of this paper those hypotheses will be presented and discussed‚ allowing the reader to derive their own opinion about the origin of algal blooms and what will happen in the future. table of contents Table of Contents I.

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

Review of Dinoflagellate Bloom in term athropological effect and biogeographic range. Abstract Dinoflagellates are common and abundant to the marine and estuarine system‚ it were characterized by the 2 flagella that are located on the girdle and sulcus. The girdle grooves divides the body into 2 parts‚ in which its orientation‚ size and shape can be used to indentify them in morphological taxonomy. Toxic dinoflagellates are known to cause diarhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP)‚ paralytic shellfish poisoning

Toxic algae blooms can be detrimental to the environment and can singlehandedly turn a once healthy ecosystem into an inhabitable ‘dead zone’. Many marine mammals have been dying rapidly due to these toxic algae that poison the brain and lead to death that travels

Red tide or harmful algae blooms can be found all over the world. Algae blooms occur when elevated concentrations of microscopic algae are present in the water. These blooms often occur in the Gulf of Mexico and along Florida’s coast almost every summer and are almost always caused by one type of microscopic algae known as Karenia Brevis. When this alga accumulates it can wreck havoc on an ecosystem and has various detrimental side effects‚ not only does it affect the environment‚ but it also can

The rise of toxic Microcystis algae blooms in Lake Eerie A combination of climate change and agricultural practices have led to an excess run off of phosphorus in Lake Erie‚ resulting in excess algae blooms spread across the surface of the water. Phosphorus is the key nutrient that dictates algae growth and abundance. Microcystis‚ a species of cyanobacteria characterized by its blue colour continually contaminates the waters‚ and damages marine ecosystems‚ due to its toxicity. Being the smallest

decades‚ the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) has seen an increasing amount of algal blooms caused by an excess of nutrients‚ most notably nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Algae being “photosynthetic microorganisms that are found in most habitats” (SJRWMD‚ 2007) and algal blooms being defined as a “rapid increase in the density of algae in an aquatic system... [that is] increased by nutrient pollution” (SJRWMD‚ 2007). Algae blooms contribute to the continuing loss of marine life in the IRL‚ including fish
