Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is commonly used in limnology and oceanography as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Fluorometry has been used to detect subsurface algal blooms, characterize dynamics of the deep chlorophyll layer, and to provide greater vertical resolution to phytoplankton monitoring.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Cyanobacterial and other algal blooms are an environmental concern in waterbodies worldwide. While these blooms are a nuisance for recreational activities, they can also be harmful to human and wildlife health when the algae produce and release toxins.

Omnivory by planktivores stabilizes plankton dynamics, but may either promote or reduce algal biomass [PDF]
, 2010 Classical models of phytoplankton–zooplankton interaction show that with nutrient enrichment such systems may abruptly shift from limit cycles to stable phytoplankton domination due to zooplankton predation by planktivorous fish.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Accurate direct measurements of coccolithophore particulate inorganic and organic carbon ratios (PIC/POC) are crucial for understanding the physiology and role these microbes play in global ocean carbon flux. Direct measurements of POC are commonly obtained by acid fuming or applying acid directly to filters to dissolve PIC (CaCO3) prior to CN

The Future of Harmful Algal Blooms in Florida Inland and Coastal Waters
EDIS, 2018 Microscopic algae in oceans and inland waters sometimes grow to excessive levels called “blooms.” Warmer water temperatures and increased nutrient levels exacerbate blooms, and when nutrients are high, temperature increases of just a few degrees cause ...

Overexploitation can counteract top‐down control and the paradox of enrichment in simple food chains
Oikos, EarlyView.Because of its high abundance or its high feeding intensity, a consumer can overexploit its resource by consuming it on a shorter timescale than resource regeneration. While this short‐term overexploitation is widespread in nature, its general implications for biotic control patterns and ecosystem stability are not clear.

Toxic algal blooms - - Winter school on recent advances in diagnosis and management of diseases in mariculture, 7th to 27th November 2002, Course Manual [PDF]
, 2002 Incidents of phytoplankton blooms, either harmful or harmless, discolouration of coastal waters, either red, pink, brown and green, has been a regular feature along the Indian coasts, especially in the west coast of India.

The effects of single versus successive warm summers on an intertidal community
Oikos, EarlyView.To accurately predict how organisms and ecological communities will respond to future conditions caused by climate change, we must consider the temporal dynamics of environmental stressors, including the effects of repeated exposures to stress. We performed a two‐year passive thermal manipulation in coastal British Columbia, Canada to determine how ...

Testing for Resistance of Pelagic Marine Copepods to a Toxic Dinoflagellate [PDF]
, 2004 With few exceptions, the evolutionary consequences of harmful algae to grazers in aquatic systems remain unexplored. To examine both the ecological and evolutionary consequences of harmful algae on marine zooplankton, we used a two-fold approach.
