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 policies and human activities. Th...
Yeast can’t grow out of control if your dog’s gut hashealthy populations of bacteria. Yeast can’t take over the neighborhood and all its resources unless its neighbors can’t defend their territory. So if you want to crowd out the yeast populations, you have to stop doing things that ...
Most algae harvested is either microalgae (phytoplankton, microphytes or planktonic algae) or macroalgae, commonly known as seaweed. Although macroalgae is used for a variety of commercial purposes, its size and cultivation needs make it hard to grow. Microalgae are easier to harvest on a large ...
which consists of microscopic algae and plant matter. Their feeding apparatus, including the elongated lower jaw and specialized gill rakers, allows them to efficiently filter and consume large quantities of planktonic organisms. They actively swim with their mouths open, filtering water through their ...
Deep lakes are in general clearer than shallow lakes due to higher sediment losses (Søndergaard et al.2005c). Deep lakes are similar to shallow lakes at low and high nutrient loading in terms of planktonic biomass dominance. The influence of fish and macrophytes, though, might be very limit...
Marine bivalves reproduce by releasing large amounts of eggs and sperm into the sea, where they are fertilized via external fertilization. The fertilized eggs then float in the plankton on the surface. The embryo grows into a tiny planktonic trochophore larvae within 48 hours after fertilization...
How to Reduce the Environmental Impact of Snow Removal We may not be able to control the weather, but we can change the ways we handle snow and ice accumulation. Instead of applying road salt or using a snow removal device to clear your street, you can grab a shovel and get back to ...
The oval form is prevalent in benthic environments, while the fusiform and triradiate forms are mainly planktonic (De Martino et al., 2007). The oval morphotype is recognized as an unusual form that arises under stress conditions and has been likened to a “resting spore” stage (Martin-...
