Karenia Brevis Harmful Algal Blooms: Their Role In Structuring The Organismal Community On The West Florida Shelf, Alisha Marie Gray
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Karenia brevis dinoflagellate blooms off the west coast of Florida can create devastating effects on marine communities when they release a neurotoxin known as a brevetoxin. These blooms, informally referred to as red tides, can cause massive fish kills, necessitate closures of shellfish fisheries, and can even leave lingering toxins that impact shelf communities long after the bloom has dissipated. As a result, much effort has been put into studying K. brevis bloom initiation and dynamics. However, how K. brevis blooms impact Florida's fisheries is not fully understood because the relationship between K. brevis cell counts and fish mortality is …

The development of aquaculture in the Agno-Pantal-Calmay River Estuary system of Dagupan City, Pangasinan Province in the Philippines is reviewed. Traditionally, extensive pond culture of milkfish, Chanos chanos and penaeid shrimp was practiced along with culture of mangrove oysters, Crassostrea iredalei, in adjacent estuarine waterways. Netpen culture of serranid groupers in the estuaries began in the early 1980s, followed by intensive fish pen culture of milkfish in the late 1980s. Over intensification of finfish aquaculture led to hyper eutrophication and fish kills beginning in 1996. Official governmental response to the fish kills is reported, and recommendations to prevent future fish …
