Status, causes and controls of cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Erie

Nutrient Control to Prevent the Occurrence of Cyanobacterial Blooms in a Eutrophic Lake in Southern Sweden, Used for Drinking Water Supply

“…The former might indicate the lake water at the first half of the year under P limiting conditions, whereas the latter might indicate N limiting conditions. A similar pattern was observed in the Great Lakes of the USA [47]. It might further indicate that the dominance of cyanobacteria during summer and autumn (Figure 1b) was caused by a transition from phosphorus to nitrogen limiting conditions.…”

An overview of diversity, occurrence, genetics and toxin production of bloom-forming Dolichospermum (Anabaena) species

“…Occurrences of Dolichospermum species and their toxins in large quantities have been documented in numerous water bodies (e.g., Tsujimura and Okubo, 2003;Cook et al, 2004;John and Kemp, 2006;Karjalainen et al, 2007;Kravchuk, 2009;Ciré s et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2013;Callieri et al, 2014), and the incidences of public exposure through drinking water or recreational activities have become more serious (e.g., Bowling and Baker, 1996;Al-Tebrineh et al, 2012), making a review on Dolichospermum cyanobacteria timely. Options for controlling or mitigating cyanobacterial blooms and their toxins have been previously summarized (Jia et al, 2010;Ho et al, 2012;Shao et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2013;Lü rling and Tolman, 2014;Steffen et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2014;Zamyadi et al, 2015) and will not be discussed here. In this review, knowledge of waterbloom forming Dolichospermum is summarized, focussing on taxonomy, the status of genomic information that is beginning to facilitate studies on the detailed controls of bloom dynamics, and the potential hazards caused by these blooms and their toxins.…”

Length-Weight Relationships, Age and Growth, and Body Condition of the Spottail Shiner (Notropis hudsonius) (Clinton 1824) in the Western Basin of Lake Erie

“…The Laurentian Great Lakes encompass one-fifth of the available freshwater in the world (Steffen et al 2014). Lake Erie is globally the tenth largest lake and stores about two percent of the total volume of all of the Great Lakes (FWPCA 1968;Munawar et al 1999).…”
