- Title
Hypnodinium-like Algal Blooms in Georgia Lakes.
- Authors
Ahearn, Donald G.; Hall Jr., Edward T.; Reinhardt, Donald J.
- Abstract
The article examines the algal blooms found in the lakes each June since 1968 in Atlanta, Georgia. According to the author, algal blooms resemble Hypnodinium sphaericum, an ill-defined species only once previously reported from the U.S. but the bipored cells of this alga make it distinct from H. sphaericum. It was found out that the significance and longterm effects of this alga on the lakes are unknown and recommended that there should be an intensive monitoring of lake ecology following detection of this Hypnodinium-like species.
