What are clusters of algae called?
Clusters of algae are called algal blooms. These blooms can occur when conditions are favorable for algae growth, such as high nutrient levels and warm temperatures. While some algal blooms are harmless, others can produce toxins that can be harmful to aquatic life and humans.
What is it called when too much algae cause water to change color?
It is called an algal bloom. Algal blooms can be caused by excess nutrients in the water, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and can result in the water changing color due to the high concentration of algae. Some algal blooms can be harmful to aquatic ecosystems and human health.
Does algae grow faster in dirty water?
Yes, in many cases it leads to algal blooms.
Blooms of certain dinoflagellates are associated with all what except?
Blooms of certain dinoflagellates are associated with all of the following: red tides, harmful algal blooms (HABs), production of toxins, and increased water turbidity.
What two elements found in fertilizer can cause an algal bloom?
Nitrogen and phosphorus are the two key elements found in fertilizers that can lead to algal blooms. When these nutrients enter bodies of water, often through runoff from agricultural fields, they promote excessive growth of algae. This rapid proliferation can deplete oxygen in the water, harming aquatic life and disrupting ecosystems. Algal blooms can also produce toxins that affect water quality and public health.
Are the white perch the reason for algal blooms?
White perch are not directly responsible for algal blooms; rather, they can be a part of the ecosystem that is affected by such blooms. Algal blooms typically result from nutrient over-enrichment, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, often from agricultural runoff and wastewater. While white perch can thrive in conditions created by algal blooms, they do not cause them. Instead, the presence of algal blooms can impact fish populations, including white perch, by reducing oxygen levels and affecting water quality.
How can algal blooms be harmful to aquatic life?
because euglenophytes absorb waste and such... they recycle it and so!.. when theres to much waste the euglenophytes make things called "algal blooms" the algal blooms deplete the waters nutruents and oxygen killing algae and other organisms
What causes red tide?
Algal can cause "red tides". Specifically algal blooms.
What environment impact do algal blooms have?
I need this as well

What occurs during an algal bloom?
algal blooms come with currents of the ocean. they have seasons, or time of year that they actually bloom. algal blooms are known to kill whales while they come up for air, because of the concentration of their "food" getting into their lungs and suffecating them.
Which is an effect of eutrophication?
for plato user is b Production of algal blooms
What are salt water algal blooms called?
red tides maybe?
What is one direct outcome of excess nitrogen in waterways?
Algal blooms
What causes algal bloom?
Algal Blooms are caused by over fertilization, runoff.
Is algal bloom deadlier than plankton bloom?
Algal blooms can be deadlier than plankton blooms, particularly when they involve harmful algal species that produce toxins, such as cyanobacteria or dinoflagellates. These toxins can lead to fish kills, contaminate drinking water, and pose health risks to humans and wildlife. While plankton blooms can disrupt ecosystems and food webs, they are generally less harmful than toxic algal blooms. The severity of each type of bloom depends on various environmental factors and the specific species involved.
