“…In recent years, phytoplankton distribution monitoring by various techniques (satellite image processing [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], radar probing [ 11 ], laser remote sensing [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ] and contact measurements with sample analysis [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]) has revealed an increased contamination of freshwater [ 22 , 23 ] and seawater areas [ 24 ] by blue–green algae. Phytoplankton blooms deplete dissolved oxygen, thus suppressing biodiversity in shallow waters and also poisoning them with biotoxins.…”
