Summer cyanobacterial blooms - LIBRIS

Cyanobacteria can form dense and sometimes toxic blooms in freshwater and marine environments, which threaten ecosystem functioning and degrade water quality for recreation, drinking water, Blooms of nitrogen -fixing cyanobacteria are a natural phenomenon in the Baltic Sea (Bianchi et al. 2000, Poutanen & Nikkilä 2001, Westman et al. 2003), and have been observed in phytoplankton sampling in the early 1900s (Hällfors et al. 2012). The blooms became extensive during the 20 Cyanobacterial blooms represent a significant threat to global water resources because blooming cyanobacteria deplete oxygen and release cyanotoxins, which cause the mass death of aquatic organisms.

SMHI has also created a short informative film raising the awareness about algae and phytoplankton, and their role in the marine ecosystem.

In humans, cyanobacteria's toxins can cause organ damage. In some places, rising temperatures have fueled an increase in the scale and frequency Aquatic cyanobacteria are known for their extensive and highly visible blooms that can form in both freshwater and marine environments. The blooms can have the appearance of blue-green paint or scum.

They cause significant financial damage to the agricultural sector, fisheries, water treatment Cyanobacteria blooms have a wide range of possible biological impacts including potential toxic effects on other algae, invertebrates and fish, impacts to plants and benthic algae due to shading, and impacts to food web function as large inedible algae produce a bottleneck to C and energy flow in the plankton food web. Blue-green algae blooms can sicken or kill animals. In humans, cyanobacteria's toxins can cause organ damage. In some places, rising temperatures have fueled an increase in the scale and frequency Cyanobacterial blooms are most commonly found in fresh water, such as lakes, rivers, and streams. These blooms can discolor the water and look like foam, scum, mats, or paint on the surface, but some blooms are hard to see because they grow below the water’s surface. Cyanobacteria can form dense and sometimes toxic blooms in freshwater and marine environments, which threaten ecosystem functioning and degrade water quality for recreation, drinking water, fisheries and human health.

Although some blooms occur naturally, others are caused, in part, by human activities.

The texture is smooth. When you dip a stick into it, the green does not cling to the stick. Some cyanobacteria blooms can be toxic.
