The ever-lasting green tides: What can we do？ [PDF]
HeliyonMacroalgal blooms (Green tides) are occurring more frequently in many regions of the world because of the combined effects of increasingly intense human activity and climate change.

Impacts of green tides on estuarine fish assemblages [PDF]
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2018 Abstract All around the world, an increasing proportion of estuarine systems are facing massive proliferations of green macroalgae, called green tides, in response to nutrient enrichment. The consequences of this perturbation for ichthyofauna that use estuarine systems as essential fish habitats remain understudied. To estimate these consequences, we

Assessment and Characterisation of Ireland's Green Tides (Ulva Species). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Enrichment of nutrients and metals in seawater associated with anthropogenic activities can threaten aquatic ecosystems. Consequently, nutrient and metal concentrations are parameters used to define water quality.

Temporal variability in zooplankton community in the western Yellow Sea and its possible links to green tides [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Large-scale macro-algal blooms of Ulva prolifera (also called green tides) have appeared each summer since 2008 in the western Yellow Sea. In this study, we investigated the temporal variability in zooplankton community in the western Yellow Sea and its ...

Influence of Green Tides in Coastal Nursery Grounds on the Habitat Selection and Individual Performance of Juvenile Fish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Coastal ecosystems, which provide numerous essential ecological functions for fish, are threatened by the proliferation of green macroalgae that significantly modify habitat conditions in intertidal areas.

Review of Allelopathy in Green Tides: The Case of Ulva prolifera in the South Yellow Sea [PDF]
BiologyThe proliferation of large green macroalgae in marine environments has led to the occurrence of green tides, particularly in the South Yellow Sea region of China, where Ulva prolifera has been identified as the primary species responsible for the world’s

Morphological and Molecular Identification of Ulva spp. (Ulvophyceae; Chlorophyta) from Algarrobo Bay, Chile: Understanding the Composition of Green Tides [PDF]
PlantsGreen algae blooms of the genus Ulva are occurring globally and are primarily attributed to anthropogenic factors. At Los Tubos beach in Algarrobo Bay along the central Chilean coast, there have been blooms of these algae that persist almost year-round ...

Stage-Dependent Dynamics and Assembly Processes of PhoD-Harboring Bacterial Communities Driven by Ulva prolifera Green Tides [PDF]
MicroorganismsThe phoD gene encodes alkaline phosphatase, which hydrolyzes organic phosphorus and releases bioavailable phosphorus for direct utilization by marine organisms. phoD-harboring bacteria are reported to be sensitive to environmental changes.

Green tides select for fast expanding Ulva strains
Science of the Total Environment, 2020 Green tides, the phenomenon whereby large volume of marine environment is taken over by the sea lettuce Ulva spp, are a seasonal occurrence thought to be caused mainly by anthropogenic eutrophication. The aggravation of green tide occurrence since the 1970s could however be due to the amplification of fast-growing strains within these areas.

Spatiotemporal Distribution of Ulva Micropropagules in Surface Sediments: Insights from Field Sampling Data in the Southern Yellow Sea (2020–2022) [PDF]
BiologyGreen tide disasters have erupted consecutively in the Southern Yellow Sea, yet their driving mechanisms remain debated. The “raft-origin-hypothesis” identifies the source as epiphytic Ulva macroalgae attached to laver aquaculture rafts in the Subei ...
