Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) bloom on Lake Erie (United States) in 2009. These kinds of algae can cause harmful algal bloom. A harmful algal bloom (HAB), or excessive algae growth, is an algal bloom that causes negative impacts to other organisms by production of natural algae-produced toxins, mechanical damage to other organisms, or by other means.
Scientists are baffled as to why the rare and endangered sawfish have been spotted in Florida waters spinning around, and 28 have been found dead. These Florida fish are spinning, acting ...
Adult kokanee can be found in open water where the thermocline is around 10 °C (50 °F). They can have anywhere between 29–40 gill rakers. [19] [9] As a fish that inhabits freshwater throughout their lifecycle they are often smaller than their sea-going sockeye relatives, due to less food availability. [13]
Conservation.org shared some facts about ocean pollution, and none of them will make you feel good about the state of our oceans and sea life. This fact is mind blowing: Soon there will be more ...
One of the coolest, most prehistoric-looking fish lives in Florida’s offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It happens to be one of the best to eat but also one of the most elusive.
Water-borne diseases are also present as our drinking waters can be contaminated by cyanotoxins. If the HAB event results in a high enough concentration of algae the water may become discoloured or murky, varying in colour from purple to almost pink, normally being red or green. Not all algal blooms are dense enough to cause water discolouration.
The decay process depletes dissolved oxygen in the water, often killing fish. [15] Water hyacinth can absorb a large amount of harmful heavy metals and other substances. After death, it rots and sinks to the bottom of the water, causing secondary pollution to the water body, destroying the natural water quality, and may even affect the quality ...
