Global Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms by Patricia M. Glibert,Elisa Berdalet,Michele A. Burford,Grant C. Pitcher,Mingjiang Zhou Pdf

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) - blooms that cause fish kills, contaminate seafood with toxins, or cause human or ecological health impacts and harm to local economies - are occurring more often, in more places and lasting longer than in past decades. This expansion is primarily the result of human activities, through increased nutrient inputs and various aspects of climate change. The Global Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (GEOHAB) programme promoted international collaboration to understand HAB population dynamics in various oceanographic regimes and to improve the prediction of HABs. This volume introduces readers to the overarching framework of the GEOHAB programme, factors contributing to the global expansion of harmful algal blooms, the complexities of HABs in different habitats, and the forward-looking issues to be tackled by the next generation of GEOHAB, GlobalHAB. The programme brought together an international team of contributing scientists and ecosystem managers, and its outcomes will greatly benefit the international research community.

As one of the eighteen field-specific reports comprising the comprehensive scope of the strategic general report of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this sub-report addresses long-range planning for developing science and technology in the field of marine science. They each craft a roadmap for their sphere of development to 2050. In their entirety, the general and sub-group reports analyze the evolution and laws governing the development of science and technology, describe the decisive impact of science and technology on the modernization process, predict that the world is on the eve of an impending S&T revolution, and call for China to be fully prepared for this new round of S&T advancement. Based on the detailed study of the demands on S&T innovation in China's modernization, the reports draw a framework for eight basic and strategic systems of socio-economic development with the support of science and technology, work out China's S&T roadmaps for the relevant eight basic and strategic systems in line with China's reality, further detail S&T initiatives of strategic importance to China's modernization, and provide S&T decision-makers with comprehensive consultations for the development of S&T innovation consistent with China's reality. Supported by illustrations and tables of data, the reports provide researchers, government officials and entrepreneurs with guidance concerning research directions, the planning process, and investment. Founded in 1949, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the nation's highest academic institution in natural sciences. Its major responsibilities are to conduct research in basic and technological sciences, to undertake nationwide integrated surveys on natural resources and ecological environment, to provide the country with scientific data and consultations for government's decision-making, to undertake government-assigned projects with regard to key S&T problems in the process of socio-economic development, to initiate personnel training, and to promote China's high-tech enterprises through its active engagement in these areas.

Real-time Coastal Observing Systems for Marine Ecosystem Dynamics and Harmful Algal Blooms by Babin, Marcel,Roesler, Collin S.,Cullen, John J. Pdf

The proliferation of harmful phytoplankton in marine ecosystems can cause massive fish kills, contaminate seafood with toxins, impact local and regional economies and dramatically affect ecological balance. Real-time observations are essential for effective short-term operational forecasting, but observation and modelling systems are still being developed. This volume provides guidance for developing real-time and near real-time sensing systems for observing and predicting plankton dynamics, including harmful algal blooms, in coastal waters. The underlying theory is explained and current trends in research and monitoring are discussed.Topics covered include: coastal ecosystems and dynamics of harmful algal blooms; theory and practical applications of in situ and remotely sensed optical detection of microalgal distributions and composition; theory and practical applications of in situ biological and chemical sensors for targeted species and toxin detection; integrated observing systems and platforms for detection; diagnostic and predictive modelling of ecosystems and harmful algal blooms, including data assimilation techniques; observational needs for the public and government; and future directions for research and operations.

Fostering Internationalism through Marine Science by Sara Tjossem Pdf

This book describes the work of the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES) since its launch 1992. Mapping the evolution of its agenda gives insight into the development of modern marine science in the context of competing demands of stakeholders within and outside the organization. The opening chapter consider the challenges of marine science as a large scale, and places PICES in the contexts of internationalism and science-based resource management. They also lay out the organization’s longstanding focus on the development of climate science and its applications. Subsequent chapters explore the pros and cons of national vs. international science, negotiating the nature of investigation and cooperation across scientific, political and institutional boundaries in the region; national perspectives on purpose, scope, and mandates; assessing two major initiatives undertaken to date; the challenges of incorporating social science into an organization of mainly natural scientists.

Phytoplankton Early Warning Approaches for Salmon Farmers in Southwestern New Brunswick by B. D. Chang Pdf

This project investigated the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of several potential early warning approaches for harmful algal blooms at salmon farms in southwestern New Brunswick (SWNB). The components of this 3-yr project included: training farm personnel on the sampling, identification, and counting of harmful algal species; implementation of high frequency phytoplankton monitoring by farm staff at selected salmon farms; retrospective statistical analyses of existing monitoring data; laboratory experiments to determine threshold concentrations of selected harmful algae which can cause problems for farmed salmon; use of a water to predict the movements of blooms which may affect salmon farms; evaluation of the effectiveness of a light sensor array for bloom detection; and evaluation of the usefulness of satellite imagery for bloom detection. Training sessions for farm workers were held in July 2004 and May-June 2005. Training was provided on sampling techniques, the use of microscopes, and the identification and counting of harmful phytoplankton species. Phytoplankton monitoring was conducted by trained staff at four farms near Grand Manan Island in 2004 and at two farms near Grand Manan Island. And one farm in the Passamaquoddy Bay and one farm on the SWNB mainland coast in 2005. The goal was to have farm workers collect and analyze samples approximately daily from late spring to early fall. On average, samples were collected in about 60% of days in 2004 (July-September) and 75% in the 2005 (late May-September), while the numbers of samples analyzed represented

Monitoring Algal Blooms by Mati Kahru Pdf

The incidence of harmful algal blooms appears to be increasing in European and Asian waters, and along the Atlantic coast. The data available for this observation, however, is patchy, and data for earlier periods is completely non-existent. The traditional technique to identify and monitor phytoplankton includes microscopic examination of water samples collected aboard research vessels. The information provided by this methodology is often limited in temporal and spatial scope because of the limitations of shipboard sampling and the enormous amounts of time and effort which are involved in analyzing the samples. New techniques are required to furnish appropriate information in order to identify and monitor algal blooms. This book explores these new technologies in depth.
