Abstract:

Shellbond is a patented material derived from high temperature treatment of calcareous materials, including oyster shells, yielding a unique form of calcium hydroxide. Researchers at the University of North Carolina Wilmington investigated the Shellbond effects on phytoplankton growth. Results suggest that Shellbond may have promise for algal bloom remediation.

Abstract:

Cylindrotheca closterium is a diatom commonly found in neritic waters of the Newport River estuary in North Carolina. This study measured diatom growth rates and motility. The results have implications for using diatoms in a variety of biotechnological and commercial applications that would require industrial-scale production including abalone culture.

Abstract:

The Southeast Phytoplankton Monitoring Network monitors harmful algae blossoms in ocean water. Recently student volunteers from First Flight High School in Kill Devil Hills, who were monitoring phytoplankton at an open-ocean site in Duck, discovered a species of harmful algae. Green discusses the monitoring network and the students' findings.

Abstract:

Early study results confirm that Jordan Lake is one of many eutrophic lakes in North Carolina, but apparently, severe water quality problems have not yet arisen. With funding from the University of North Carolina Water Resources Research Institute, the first stage of a study of the productivity and nutrient status of phytoplankton in Jordan Lake has been completed.
