Abstract
Control of undesirable algal species is the primary requirement for the long-term maintenance of health of an aquatic ecosystem. Their excessive growth may cause ecosystem imbalance by depleting the water quality and affecting the life of aquatic fauna. The present paper describes the physical, chemical and biological methods of controlling undesirable algal species.
期刊介绍:
The algae are heterogeneous assemblage of phytosynthetic organisms, one of the most vast and diverse groups of ancient photoautotrophic pro- and eukaryotic organisms (about 30 000 known species). They are micro- and macroscopic, unicellular, colonial, or multicellular, mobile and immobile, attached and free-living. Algae are widespread in water and soil habitats, at different geographic latitudes, and on all continents. They occur in waters with different degrees of salinity, trophicity, organic matter, and hydrogen ions, and at various temperatures. They include planktonic, periphytonic and benthic organisms. Algae are unique model organisms in evolutionary biology and also are used in various genetic, physiological, biochemical, cytological, and other investigations.
