Blooms of Pseudo-nitzschia and domoic acid in the San Pedro Channel and Los Angeles harbor areas of the Southern California Bight, 2003–2004
Abundances of Pseudo-nitzschia spp. and concentrations of particulate domoic acid (DA) were determined in the Southern California Bight (SCB) along the coasts of Los Angeles and Orange Counties during spring and summer of 2003 and 2004. At least 1500 km were affected by a toxic event in May/June of 2003 when some of the highest particulate DA concentrations reported for US coastal waters were m...

متن کاملSubsurface seeding of surface harmful algal blooms observed through the integration of autonomous gliders, moored environmental sample processors, and satellite remote sensing in southern California
An observational study was performed in the central Southern California Bight in Spring 2010 to understand the relationship between seasonal spring phytoplankton blooms and coastal processes that included nutrient input from upwelling, wastewater effluent plumes, and other processes. Multi-month Webb Slocum glider deployments combined with MBARI environmental sample processors (ESPs), weekly pi...
متن کاملDetection of Pseudo-nitzschia Spp Toxic Blooms Using Meris Images on the Galician Coast
Periodic blooms of Pseudonitzschia spp. in Galician coastal areas have caused virtual collapse of ecosystems with accomp anying serious economic impacts. The aim of this work is the study of the physical environment of a coastal system correlating different bands of MERIS data with in situ chlorophyll data provided by the Marine Environment Quality Control Centre (CCMM) during a study period as...
متن کاملRapid downward transport of the neurotoxin domoic acid in coastal waters
Toxic phytoplankton blooms threaten coastlines worldwide by diminishing beach quality and adversely affecting marine ecosystems and human health1,2. The common diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia consists of several species known to produce the neurotoxin domoic acid3. Recent studies suggest that algal blooms dominated by Pseudo-nitzschia are increasing in frequency and duration owing to changes in c...
