catching few or no fish every time he goes out. He also notices that the lake has an unusually high amount of algae in it. Clearly, the reason for a short supply of fish and an increased amount of algae in the lake is contributed to algae blooms. These blooms are caused by “loads” of nitrogen flowing into the canal. Based on this information, I predict large amounts of chemical fertilizers are being applied on nearby farms and subsequent run-off enters the lake (Withgott & Laposata, p. 9). This

impacts of Dinoflagellate algae: economic, ecologic, and human health hazards ABSTRACT Increasing pollution both atmospheric and oceanic are encouraging algal growth and increasing the frequency and geographic range of high density dinoflagellate blooms. Public health and economic impacts, as well as negative ecological effects of the aquatic environment are increasing the scientific research done on toxic dinoflagellate species. Contaminated bivalves are causing paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP)

1. Illustrate the operation of Radix_sort on the following list of English words: cow, dog, seq, rug, row, mob, box tab, bar ear, tar, dig, big, tea, now, fox. ANSWER: It is a sorting algorithm that is used to sort numbers. We sort numbers from least significant digit to most significant digit. In the following array of words, three is the maximum number of digits a word has, hence the number of passes will be three. In pass 1, sort the words alphabetically using first letter from the right

One of the growing concerns of marine sciences and biology is the issue of harmful algae blooms in the seas. “Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are proliferations of algae that can cause massive fish kills, contamination of seafood with toxins, and/or ecological damage through the development of anoxia or habitat alteration”http://ioc.unesco.org/hab/GEOHABWhatare%20HABs.htm (Accessed March 26, 2006). These blooms have been known to cause many problems the world over. These HABs can have adverse effects

Ever since its inception in Ancient Greece, liberal education has afforded its students a truth for new understanding, that makes them well-rounded citizens. In terms of the American education system when it reached its pinnacle in the 1950s, its course was just as quickly reversed in the 1960s. A major culprit in the degradation of higher learning can be shouldered by Students for Democratic Society(SDS).To understand how these events came to be, we must first look at the values/objective of this

Red Algal Blooms Coloring the Tides Raymond A Martin College of Central Florida Abstract There are large, toxic blooms of dinoflagellates that leave a red coloration in the water. This rouge discoloring has become known as a red tide. Red tides have many damaging effects on the coastal environment and the ecosystem of the seas. They occur naturally as far north as southern Alaska to date. This paper will discuss what a red tide is and some of its causes. It will also explore the environmental

have the well called algal blooms, it also change to a darker colour and an irritating smell. On the first to fourth day of experiment, both containers have the same cases. It has greenish water caused by the algal culture mixed in the water. But after the liquid fertilizer was mixed on the second container, the fish will be noticed having hard time to swim in the container. The fish in the container labelled “2” died at the fifth day the same time where the algae blooms easily caused by the chemicals

Describe how the animal species richness found in the Galeolaria caespitose clump biotype could be affected by pollution Marine ecosystems are known to have rich biodiversity of species and therefore generally thought of as being stable and resilient to natural progressions of the earth (Johnson, Roberts, 2009) Disturbances in the habitat by unnatural means, such as pollution, can harm the balance of these ecosystems as the species are unable to adapt to the unusual contaminants that would not naturally

seashore are magnificent, disturbing and potentially toxic, marine biologists say. The glow is an indicator of a harmful algal bloom created by something called Noctiluca scintillans, nicknamed Sea Sparkle. It looks like algae and can act like algae. But it's not quite. It is a single-celled organism that technically can function as both animal and plant. These type blooms are triggered by farm pollution that can be devastating to marine life and local fisheries, according to University of Georgia
