How to prevent algal blooms To prevent algal blooms and serious environmental, health, and health impacts, you must predict and control the proliferation of algae. Sustainable algae management practices aim to reduce the inflow of nutrients in water bodies. Long-term success requires changes in poli...
How did the biosphere form? How does the water cycle renew Earth's supply of freshwater? How is an aquifer recharged? How does oxygen lead to ocean acidification? How does nitrogen return to the atmosphere? How do algae blooms cause ocean acidification?
During the past four years, we have studied Arctic algal blooms in sea ice and water in the FAABulous project (see box) with many colleagues from the ARCTOS network (see article about ARCTOS on page XX), and other national and international partners. We focused on two fjord systems in Sv...
Control Algal blooms As highly adaptive organisms, algae can become resistant to treatment methods, including ultrasound. To avoid this, we’ll determine the most effective ultrasonic program for your unique situation, whether you need to control blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), phytoplankton, or dia...
Reduced Algal Blooms:Alum clarifies water by removing excess nutrients that can cause algal blooms. Algal blooms can deplete oxygen in the water, harming aquatic life. By controlling these blooms, alum helps maintain the ecological balance in ponds and water bodies, creating a healthier environment ...
Forced harvest. Emergency harvesting, regardless of fish size or grow-out stage, which is carried out during "fish kills" due to oxygen depletions that are attributed to algal blooms, red tide occurrence, pollution or other environmental causes. ...
The use of species and site designations, including biodiversity action plans, important plant areas and key biodiversity areas are explored as ways forward for algal conservation and the raising of public awareness. Ex situ conservation in the form of actively growing culture collections or in ...
Nitrogen-rich water supports massive algae growth and algal blooms. Bacteria decompose the dead algae, flourish themselves and soak up the water's available oxygen. Fish, shellfish, sea grass beds and coral reefs die in the algae-choked, oxygen-depleted waters. Scientists estimate that ...
Nitrogen deposition from acid rain also damages coastal waters and estuaries. Nitrogen-rich water supportsmassive algae growth and algal blooms. Bacteria decompose the dead algae, flourish themselves and soak up the water's available oxygen. Fish, shellfish, sea grass beds and coral reef...
But one of the challenges for the sector is the occurrence of harmful algal blooms. So at certain times of the year, particularly in spring and summer time, algal blooms can occur, and some species can produce toxins that are harmful to human health, and also wildlife. Shellfish are filt...
