• A New Way To Measure Phytoplankton And Cyanotoxin Producers In Large Rivers

  Aquatic ecosystems, especially rivers, ponds, lakes, and reservoirs, can have variable levels of biological productivity that is directly proportional to their nutrient levels, or “trophic state”. Monitoring trophic state is critical to the protection of water resources. Among the many methods for monitoring, phytoplanktonic (microscopic algae) composition and abundance can comprehensively indicate the trophic status.
