Dinoflagellate blooms and physical systems in the Gulf of Maine
Numerous studies have shown dinoflagellate blooms to be closely related to density discontinuities and fronts in the ocean. The spatial and temporal patterns of the dinoflagellate population depend on the predominant mode of physical forcing, and its scales of variability. The present study …

A turbulent diatom vs dinoflagellate phytoplankton biomass model
Phytoplankton blooms play an important role in global primary productivity and the dynamics of blooms are of interest to modellers. Diatom dominated phytoplankton blooms followed by dinoflagellate blooms are common in the Southern Benguela, and are often associated with Harmful Algal Blooms. A …

A study of the New York / New Jersey coastal water : bio-optical characteristics of the harbor estuary and the effects of heavy metals on brown tide alga of the bight
… excessive nutrient loading in the water, algal blooms have been observed since 1950's. The NY/NJ coastal area includes the NY/NJ Bight and the NY/NJ Harbor Estuary, and in the former, brown tides (Aureococcus anophagefferens) were first observed in 1985 becoming a more serious water quality …

Life cycle studies of the red tide dinoflagellate species complex Alexandrium tamarense
Blooms of toxic species within the algal dinoflagellate species complex Alexandrium tamarense may cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning, a significant and growing environmental threat worldwide. However, blooms of closely related nontoxic A. tamarense also occur, sometimes in close geographical …

Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium fundyense in the Gulf of Maine : investigations using physical-biological model
Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandriumfundyense are annually recurrent in the western Gulf of Maine (WGOM) and pose a serious economic and public health threat. Transitions between and vital rates within the life stages of A. fundyense are influenced by diverse environmental factors, and …
