Effects of nanopolystyrene on the feeding behavior of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis L.)
As the industrial production of nanoplastic and the degradation of microplastic into smaller particles at sea increase, the potential amount of nanoplastics in the marine environment rises. It has been reported that mussels uptake 100‐nm polystyrene (PS) beads; to date, however, the effects of this uptake on the organism are unknown. Here we investigated the effects of 30‐nm PS on the feeding ...

Algae control in irrigation case study
Reduction of aerobic bacteria and algae in irrigation reservoir Analyzed parameters After finalizing the test the following was observed: strong reduction in algae and aerobic bacteria concentration. This lower amount in micro-organism concentration, in the water leads to lower biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). This subsequently leads to the improvement of the quality of the potable water. This ...

Ecological characteristics of plankton and aquatic vegetation in Lake Qiluhu
Investigations of the phytoplankton, zooplankton, zoobenthos and aquatic vegetation in Lake Qiluhu were carried out in February, 2009. Over the whole lake, 13 sampling sites were set up for the analysis of phytoplankton and zooplankton, and 22 profiles for the collection of macrophytes and zoobenthos. In the survey, 7 phyla, 65 algae species were identified. The average abundance of ...

Light Intensity
Microalgae Growth – Light Intensity If light is one of the key ingredients in photosynthesis, will more light always generate more productivity? Not exactly. Microalgae growth tends to have a consistent relationship with light intensity. Though the actual growth rates and intensities for different points in this curve will vary depending on many factors the general shape is consistent ...

Spray drying of microalgae biomass for biofuel production
BUCHI Mini Spray Dryer B-290: Yield and total yield determination in spray dried microalgaes Recently, microalgal biomass has been recognized as a promising alternative source of raw material for biofuel production. Algal biomass has several advantages that may help to meet the need for the global demand of transport fuels, such as rapid growth rate, high lipid content, small land usage, and ...

Control of algal production in a high rate algal pond: investigation through batch and continuous experiments
For decades, arid and semi-arid regions in Africa have faced issues related to water availability for drinking, irrigation and livestock purposes. To tackle these issues, a laboratory scale greywater treatment system based on high rate algal pond (HRAP) technology was investigated in order to guide the operation of the pilot plant implemented in the 2iE campus in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). ...

Estimation of herbicide species sensitivity distribution using single‐species algal toxicity data and information on the mode of action
Although species sensitivity distribution (SSD) is a key concept for quantitative ecological risk assessment, its application is limited owing to a lack of sufficient data for the analysis, especially on the toxicity of herbicides for primary producers. The authors developed a method of herbicide SSD estimation using single‐species toxicity data and information on the herbicide mode of action ...

Why are we monitoring nutrients at different depths?
Recently, LG Sonic introduced the MPC-Lab, an innovative monitoring buoy that can monitor algae, physico-chemical variables, and even nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in near real-time and at different depths in a body of water. Combined with our other monitoring tools, this system offers a unique way to detect the spatial and temporal patterns of nutrient concentrations which play a ...
