Oxygen depletion can trigger mass fish deaths and disrupt aquatic ecosystems, with ecological and economic consequences. AI and real-time monitoring can help detect nutrient pollution early, enabling proactive management of HABs and eutrophication. ...
Real-time monitoring combined with non-chemical prevention strategies enhances algae management, ensuring efficient power generation and promoting the ecological health of aquatic ecosystems. Algae can significantly increase power generation costs by obstructing water flow and causing equipment wear. ...
However, with the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, as well as the continuous growth of population, water resources are polluted to different degrees, which seriously threatens the sustainable development of human health and ecological environment. Therefore, the protection and management of water resources are becoming more and more important. ...

Heili Lowman is a post-doctoral scholar and member of PME’s New Researcher Program studying aquatic ecology and biogeochemistry at the University of Nevada at Reno. ...
We said countless times that algae blooms are a growing concern for many freshwater ecosystems around the world, and explored why and how they affect humans and nature. We even looked at how humans play key roles in this issue directly, by polluting the water systems, and indirectly, due to climate change. However, there is a whole other dimension left to talk about: These blooms are often ...
Algal blooms are a severe ecological disaster that threatens aquatic systems around the world. They pose a threat to public health and biodiversity. ...
ESL Reporting in the San Francisco Bay Region The California Regional Water Quality Board, San Francisco Bay Region, formulated a technical report which intends to portray a series of different combinations of soil quality, water quality, and air quality along with land use practices that influence the ecology of the specific site but not for the policy or legislative purposes ...
Aquatic plants fulfill various ecological roles; they are a natural part of every lake and their surroundings, and they interact with a wide range of organisms. When restoring a lake’s ecosystem, it is crucial to assess its aquatic vegetation ...
A team of international scientists and students installed PME miniDOTs to study the temperate Steppe Rivers of the American West and Mongolia in order to estimate the metabolism of the rivers as part of the NSF MACRO project. They’re aiming to sample three eco regions on each continent over the span of three years. The team studying these rivers is an eclectic group of individuals ...
In the long term, copper sulfate is toxic to many of the beneficial aquatic algae, bacteria and protozoa that can potentially compete with the golden algae throughout the water column. So the challenge is to create an aquatic ecology that is detrimental to golden algae while maintaining a robust biology. ...
Scientists from the University of Portsmouth have been investigating nutrient concentrations in the Upper River Itchen, in Hampshire, UK, on behalf of Salmon & Trout Conservation (S&TC) to better understand where phosphorus is coming from and how it is impacting river ecology. The work has been ongoing for over three years and Lauren Mattingley, Science Officer for S&TC says: ...
These blooms can dramatically affect aquatic ecology in a number of ways. High densities of algal biomass within the water column, or, in extreme cases, blankets of algae on the water surface, prevent light from reaching submerged plants. ...
Unfortunately, over the years the structures have damaged the environment and aquatic ecosystems. In a more sustainable, ecologically sound, and physically robust plan, the government is now shoring up the natural coastline of the city by rebuilding sand dunes and expanding shores with sediment. ...
We describe governmental and institutional constraints on the development of Delaware water policy and show how modifications of release policies have enhanced aquatic habitat and ecological health in the upper Delaware while reliably delivering water to NYC and the Delaware's other principal stakeholders. ...
Acyclovir and penciclovir, 2 antiviral drugs, are increasingly detected in aquatic environments. The present study explores the natural photochemical transformation mechanisms and fate of these drugs, examining direct and indirect photochemical transformation under simulated sunlight irradiation. The 2 antiviral drugs are photostable under certain conditions but significantly degrade in the ...
To understand the potential effects of pesticide mixtures on aquatic ecosystems, studies that incorporate increased ecological relevance are crucial. Using outdoor mesocosms, the authors examined long‐term effects on aquatic invertebrate communities of tertiary mixtures of commonly used pesticides: 2 pyrethroids (permethrin, λ‐cyhalothrin) and ...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of ubiquitous pollutants in marine environments, exhibit moderate to high adverse effects on aquatic lives and humans. However, the lack of toxicity data of PAHs to aquatic organism limited the evaluation of their ecological risks. In the present study, aquatic predicted no ...
The prospective aquatic Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) of pesticides is generally based on the comparison of predicted environmental concentrations in edge‐of‐field surface waters with regulatory acceptable concentrations derived from laboratory and/or semi‐field experiments with aquatic organisms. ...
There is little information documenting whether resuspension of metal‐contaminated sediments has adverse ecological effects on resident aquatic organisms. Using a novel laboratory approach, we examined the mobilization of Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb, Ni and Cr during resuspension of a freshwater and two coastal marine sediments and whether resuspension and redeposition ...
The discharge of hydroquinone (HQ), an important chemical raw material, to natural waters poses different ecological threats to aquatic organisms. In this study, we investigated the removal performance of traditional and modified microelectrolysis methods in aqueous solutions. ...
