What is algal boom?
Algal bloom is the process where algae turns the color red. This happens when there is a sudden burst of heat from the sun and the nutrients in the earth below the sea rise into the algae and some of the nutrients turns the algae red which in turn, makes the sea looks like it is the color red.
Which protist causes red tide?
dinoflagellates tint the sea water to a reddish color.
What are algal blooms that cause red tide caused from?
Algal blooms that cause red tide are primarily caused by the rapid growth of phytoplankton, particularly species like Karenia brevis. These blooms can be triggered by factors like nutrient pollution from human activities, warm water temperatures, and calm sea conditions that allow the algae to flourish. The resulting high concentrations of algae can release toxins that harm marine life and impact human health.
Can you summarize the role of algal blooms in disrupting the equilibrium in an aquatic ecosystem?
An algal bloom or marine bloom or water bloom is a rapid increase in the population of algae in an aquatic system. Algal blooms may occur in freshwater as well as marine environments. Typically only one or a few phytoplankton species are involved and some blooms may be recognized by discoloration of the water resulting from the high density of pigmented cells. Although there is no officially recognized threshold level, algae can be considered to be blooming at concentrations of hundreds to thousands of cells per milliliter, depending on the causative species. Algal bloom concentrations may reach millions of cells per milliliter. Colors observed are green, yellowish-brown, or red. Bright green blooms may also occur. These are a result of blue-green algae, which are actually bacteria (cyanobacteria). Some algal blooms are the result of an excess of nutrients (particularly phosphorus and nitrogen) into waters and higher concentrations of these nutrients in water cause increased growth of algae and green plants. As more algae and plants grow, others die. This dead organic matter becomes food for bacteria that decompose it. With more food available, the bacteria increase in number and use up the dissolved oxygen in the water. When the dissolved oxygen content decreases, many fish and aquatic insects cannot survive. This results in a dead area.
What marine animals who eat algae?
Algae are organisms that include kelp, red, green, or brown algae, and seaweed. Algae is eaten by many sea creatures. Some sea animals that eat algae are: crabs, turbo snails, sea hares, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sea turtles, and zooplankton. Algae is also eaten by the following fish: surgeonfish, rabitfish, blennies, angelfish, spotted scat and tangs.
