Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to clarify the long-term dynamics of the red tide occurring in Lake Kawaguchi.
Methods: The measurement of environmental factors and water sampling were carried out monthly at a fixed station in Lake Kawaguchi's center basin from April 1993 to March 2004. On June 26, 1995, the horizontal distribution ofPeridinium bipes was investigated using a plastic pipe, obtaining 0∼1-m layers of water column samples at 68 locations across the entire lake.
Results: P. bipes showed an explosive growth and formed a freshwater red tide in the early summer of 1995, when the nutrient level was higher than those in the other years, particularly the phosphate concentration in the surface layer. The dissolved total phosphorus (DTP) concentration was sufficient forP. bipes growth in that year. In the study of its horizontal distribution,P. bipes was found at all the locations. The numbers of cells per milliliter ranged from 67 to 5360, averaging 1094±987 cells/ml, with particularly high densities along the northern shore. Since then,P. bipes has annually averaged about 25 cells/ml in Lake Kawaguchi.
Conclusion: We observed that the red tide caused byP. bipes correlates with a high DTP concentration in Lake Kawaguchi.

Climate change and anthropogenic pressures alter phytoplankton phenology, distribution, and bloom frequency. Healthy phytoplankton communities are crucial for biogeochemical processes, blue carbon sequestration, and climate change mitigation. By employing high-throughput 18S V4 rRNA metabarcoding, we addressed the need for profiling phytoplankton community and response mechanisms in urbanized coastal ecosystems.

Aged nanoplastics are emerging pollutants in aquatic environments, but the effects of their loaded pollutants on cyanobacteria are still poorly understood. This study evaluated the adsorption of butylparaben (BP) by pristine (PS) and aged polystyrene nanoplastics (APS) and prepared BP-loaded aged PS to analyze their effects on . The results showed that APS had stronger BP adsorption and translocation capacity, with APS increasing BP adsorption by 4.

In Summer 2024, a dinoflagellate bloom broke out in the Bohai Sea along the north coast of Shandong peninsula. By approaches of morphological observation, pigment analysis and targeted gene sequencing, the bloom causative species was identified as dinoflagellate Takayama acrotrocha. The satellite imagery indicated that the bloom lasted from August 24 to September 8, and distributed mainly in the coastal waters extending from the Yellow River estuary to Yantai and Weihai, marking the northward expansion of this algal species along the coast of China.

Microcystis aeruginosa is a toxic cyanobacteria species that is often abundant during cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwaters. This study examined how growth on different nitrogen substrates influences the exometabolome of toxic and non-toxic strains of M. aeruginosa.

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing anthropogenic stressor affecting all biological levels of complexity. Despite this, only a few studies have measured its influence on photosynthetic organisms, and even fewer its effects on macroalgae and their interaction with herbivores. Of particular interest is the potential influence of ALAN on secondary metabolites, such as phenolic compounds, that are used by macroalgae to deter herbivores.
