Abstract:

While pfiesteria looms large in the headlines, it is only one of a number of thousands-of-years-old, harmful algal blooms that can flourish under the right conditions. Others include red tides and brown tides. The algae can cause illness and death in humans and affect coastal businesses.

Abstract:

There is a diverse freshwater silica-scaled chrysophycean algal flora for the Carolina Piedmont and Mountain Regions, including several new taxa. This study presents an account of the scale-bearing chrysophytes from the Carolina Coastal Region, which were observed using scanning and transmission electron microscopy.

Abstract:

There are sixteen species of the red algal order Rhodymeniales reported from North Carolina waters, but there has been confusion over their taxonomic rank and classification. Phylogenetic analyses reveal a number of species differences, suggesting that Asteromenia is not a monotypic genus.

Abstract:

Researchers at the Water Resources Research Institute examined the combined effects of phosphorus and clay loading on water quality and algal communities in a Piedmont lake. Phosphorus plays a key role in producing nuisance algae in lakes, and turbidity from clay also ranks as a top water quality problem. This article discusses the project and highlights the study’s results.

Abstract:

Heavy late-spring and early-summer rainfall in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain of North Carolina has sent high volumes of nitrogen-laden freshwater down the Neuse River. This has resulted in numerous, small, localized crab and fish kills and several sizeable algae blooms in the estuary near Morehead City.

Abstract:

Due to growing concern about toxic forms of algae and their possible effects on public health, the North Carolina Urban Water Consortium has joined with the American Water Works Association Research Foundation to conduct research that will shed light on the range of effects algae have on drinking water treatment and finished water quality in reservoirs.

Abstract:

Scientists are uncertain whether fish kills in the Neuse River are caused by Pfiesteria or anoxia/hypoxia. Difficulties in the causal linkages make it difficult to determine appropriate response and management actions. This article discusses the fish kill events and water conditions in the Neuse.
