Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract The demand for efficient image sorting methods has increased due to technological advancements that enable more intensive phytoplankton monitoring. Both statistical and machine learning algorithms can misidentify algal taxa in taxonomically diverse samples, in which phytoplankton morphology and image traits can vary.

The Ecotoxicology of Plastic Marine Debris
The American Biology Teacher, 2011 The accumulation of plastic in the oceans is an ever-growing environmental concern. Plastic debris is a choking and entanglement hazard for wildlife; plastics also leach toxic compounds into organisms and ecosystems. Educating students about the marine debris problem introduces fundamental concepts in toxicology, ecology, and oceanography.

Refining techniques for high‐frequency monitoring of chlorophyll a fluorescence in estuarine systems
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Concentrations of the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll a are commonly used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass in aquatic systems. Traditional methods for extracting chlorophyll a in discrete samples limit measurement frequency, while in situ sensor technology provides high frequency chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements at a more ...

Seagrass species diversity in Tanzania based on morphological and molecular data
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Seagrass diversity along the Tanzanian coast has been documented mainly through morphology, with limited molecular reference data available for Tanzania and the wider Western Indian Ocean. This study combined morphological identification with nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

Benthic marine algae on Japanese tsunami marine debris – a morphological documentation of the species. Part 3 - The green algae and cyanobacteria [PDF]
To determine the invasion threat to the NE Pacific of marine algae arriving on Japanese debris from the 2011 Great Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami, my colleagues and I identified the algal species on 42 of the most heavily fouled debris items that landed ...
