Algal Blooms: Potential Drivers, Occurrences and Impact

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Marine Algal Bloom: Characteristics, Causes and Climate Change Impacts

Abstract

The growth of marine phytoplankton (both non-toxic and toxic) is generally limited by the availability of nitrates and phosphates, which can be abundant in coastal upwelling zones as well as in agricultural runoff. The type of nitrates and phosphates available in the system is also a factor, since phytoplankton can grow at different rates depending on the relative abundance of these substances (e.g. ammonia, urea, nitrate ion). A variety of other nutrient sources can also play an important role in affecting algal bloom formation, including iron, silica or carbon. This chapter has given importance to gain insight into the characteristics of algal blooms along with their potential drivers in relation to the marine environment. The chapter has also highlighted the current understanding on the mechanisms of algal bloom and addresses the regional differences in the persistence and causative agents of algal bloom in eutrophic tropical aquatic systems.
