Artificial Neural Network Approaches to the Prediction of Eutrophication and Algal Blooms in Aras Dam, Iran
Abstract Background and purpose: Eutrophication is one of the major environmental problems in waterways causing substantial adverse impact on domestic, livestock and recreational use of water resources. Aras Dam, Iran which provides Arasful city with drinking water, has chronic algal blooms since 1990. Levels of up to 900,000 cells/mL of toxic cyanobacteria (mainly Anabaena and Microcystis) hav...
متن کاملEcological constraints on planktonic nitrogen fixation in saline estuaries. I. Nutrient and trophic controls
Heterocystous, planktonic cyanobacteria capable of fixing atmospheric N2 into available nitrogen (N) are common and critically important to nutrient cycling in many lakes, yet they are rarely observed in estuaries at salinities >10 ppt, even when strongly N limited. In a series of mesocosm experiments using water from Narragansett Bay (Rhode Island), we manipulated top-down (grazing) and bottom...
متن کاملPresence of the Cyanotoxin Microcystin in Arctic Lakes of Southwestern Greenland
Cyanobacteria and their toxins have received significant attention in eutrophic temperate and tropical systems where conspicuous blooms of certain planktonic taxa release toxins into fresh water, threatening its potability and safe use for recreation. Although toxigenic cyanobacteria are not confined to high nutrient environments, bloom-forming species, or planktonic taxa, these other situation...
متن کاملPresence of Planktothrix sp. and cyanobacterial toxins in Lake Ammersee, Germany and their impact on whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus L.).
Due to the increasing oligotrophy of Lake Ammersee, southern Germany, metalimnic Planktothrix have become one of the dominant planktonic species causing regular blooms. Whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) is the dominant local fish species with great importance for the fishing industry. Recently, whole age groups of this fish species have disappeared and since 1991, average body-weight has decrease...
متن کاملRecruitment of resting stages may induce blooms of Microcystis at low N:P ratios
Many phytoplankton species form resting stages when environmental conditions are harsh and these can survive for a long time in the sediment (Livingstone and Jaworski, 1980; Lampert, 1995). When environmental conditions are favourable again, they recruit to the water phase and continue growing (Hansson et al., 1994; Hansson, 1996a). Many species of cyanobacteria, for example Microcystis, Anabae...
