ABSTRACT Poor gill health compromises the health and welfare of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by causing respiratory distress and increased ventilation frequency. Poor gill health is caused by numerous factors, including amoebic gill disease (AGD), jellyfish stings, and toxic algae, and is monitored by fish farmers by manual ‘gill scoring’. Gill

Influence of trace metal additions on the longevity of algal blooms across a productivity gradient
Abstract Phytoplankton require specific nutrients in varying quantities for growth, defense, and proper cell functioning. When macronutrients are present in excess, trace metals can exhibit co‐limitation on phytoplankton. This experiment aimed to understand how ambient nutrient concentrations impact phytoplankton community persistence (i.e., bloom ...

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) are promoted by excessive nutrient loading and, while fertilizers and sewage are the most prevalent external nutrient sources in most watersheds, the differential effects of these nutrient sources on CHABs are ...

ABSTRACT This study adopts a policy‐centric perspective to explore the complex relationship between sustainable nitrogen management (SNM) and the health risks associated with unsafe drinking water. The critical policy challenge lies in balancing the essential role of nitrogen fertilizers in achieving high agricultural productivity with their ...

Planning for the future, algae bloom dynamics in water management and ecosystem restoration efforts
Eutrophication and chronic harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a challenge for ecosystem managers and restoration planners. Drivers of HABs include nutrient availability, temperature patterns, atmospheric conditions, rainfall-runoff relationships, and lake ...

The relationship between soil test phosphorus (STP) concentrations and annual dissolved phosphorus (DRP) loads at the edge‐of‐field were upscaled to the Western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB). Results revealed that elevated STP fields disproportionately contribute to WLEB DRP loads but are not the dominant source leading to harmful and nuisance algal blooms ...

Development of Chitosan/PVA Nanofibrous Membranes for Efficient Removal of Microcystis aeruginosa
Removal of Microcystis aeruginosa from CS/PVA fibers by A‐HSBS. ABSTRACT In this study, chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) (CS/PVA) polymeric nanofibers were produced using the Air‐Heated Solution Blow Spinning (A‐HSBS) method and applied for the efficient removal of Microcystis aeruginosa from contaminated water.

Biochar in Animal Agriculture: Enhancing Health, Efficiency and Environmental Sustainability
Biochar enhances animal agriculture by improving gut health (8%–26% higher feed efficiency), reducing methane emissions (up to 22%) and ammonia volatilization (40%–77%) and sequestering carbon. Challenges include variability in quality and economic feasibility, but its integration offers a sustainable path for productivity and environmental stewardship.
