Harmful Algal Species Fact Sheet: Aureococcus anophagefferens Hargraves et Sieburth & Aureoumbra lagunensis DeYoe et Stockwell – Brown Tides

Laboratory Culture-Based Characterization of the Resting Stage Cells of the Brown-Tide-Causing Pelagophyte, Aureococcus anophagefferens

“…Aureococcus anophagefferens blooms (also known as brown tides) have caused destructive environmental impacts and massive losses in aquaculture in the past three decades [39][40][41][42]. For a long period, however, brown tides were only reported in the U.S. East Coast until the first brown tides occurred at Saldanha Bay, South Africa in 1997 [6] and suddenly occurred in the coastal waters number of RSCs decreased significantly over time during the storage, which died during the storage because of light or nutrient shortage, or decomposed by bacteria, only about 28% of RSCs survived 3 months of darkness coldness (Figures 4 and 5).…”
