A bloom of Dinophysis acuta in a thin layer off North-West Portugal
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: MT Moita L Sobrinho-Gonçalves PB Oliveira S Palma M FalcãoDinophysis acuta, which is responsible for diarrhetic shellfish poisoning, reached particularly high concentrations on the north-west coast of Portugal in 2003. In the Ría de Aveiro (40°41'N), the species reached a maximum concentration of 5.0 × 104 cells l−1 on... -
Overgrazing of edible algae as a mechanism behind red tides and harmful algal blooms
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: T Johannessen E Dahl O LindahlIt has recently been suggested that there is a positive synergistic relationship between herbivorous zooplankton and their algal food, with herbivores stimulating the production of their preferred species while negatively affecting competing algal species. A prerequisite for this positive interaction... -
Variations in the dominant algal bloom-forming species in the western South China Sea from 1993 to 2007
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: CL Liu --- Key Laboratory of Tropical Marine Environmental Dynamics, and Key Laboratory of Marine Bio-resources Sustainable Utilization, China DL Tang --- Key Laboratory of Tropical Marine Environmental Dynamics, and Key Laboratory of Marine Bio-resources Sustainable Utilization, China SF Wang --- Key Laboratory of Tropical Marine Environmental Dynamics, and Key Laboratory of Marine Bio-resources Sustainable Utilization, China L Nguyen-Ngoc --- , VietnamThe study investigated the spatial and temporal variations of harmful algal bloom (HAB) species in the western South China Sea (SCS) for the period 1993-2007, using in situ HAB and remotely sensed datasets. A significant change in the dominant bloom...
