This article identifies phytoplanktons' ability to consume phosphate and store it, in what is known as luxury uptake. This decreases the amount of available phosphate for toxic algae to utilize and develop from.

This blog is about the different names associated with toxic algae, the different types of toxic algae and some of the toxins they produce.

This article discuss the advantages of using Chlamydomonas and beneficial phytoplankton for nutrient reduction in lakes, inhibiting the development of toxic algae and improving lake productivity.

This article is about the benefits of Nannochloropsis limnetica for both bioremediation to prevent harmful algae blooms and as an excellent food source for zooplankton.

This is an article about the beneficial properties of the phytoplankton Ankistrodesmus and how it reduces nutrients to help prevent toxic algae blooms while simultaniously providing an excellent food source for zooplankton.

Selenastrum supports healthy zooplankton populations that form the basis of fish production. Simultaneously, its capacity to remove substantial quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus helps maintain water quality, prevent eutrophication and hinder the development of harmful algae blooms and nuisance algae.

Scenedesmus is a remarkable phytoplankton that simultaneously supports aquatic food webs and maintains water quality. Its high nutritional value makes it indispensable for zooplankton populations, while its impressive capacity to remove nitrogen (including ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate) and phosphorus positions it as a powerful tool for addressing water pollution challenges.

Discover how Chlorella vulgaris purifies water while feeding aquatic life. This green microalga removes 80-95% of ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate while providing protein-rich nutrition for zooplankton. Learn about nature's dual-purpose solution for freshwater ecosystem health and nutrient pollution control.

This is a short overview describing some of the main difference between freshwater phytoplankton and cyanobacteria.

Puns aside, seaweed is emerging as a surprising mining source. NREL chemist Stefanie Van Wychen and a team of five departed Juneau, Alaska, on an early spring—and surprisingly green—April morning. The crew flew to Ketchikan, a city known for its “feisty salmon,” glacier-shaped wilderness, and snaking waterways. Then they boarded a worthy s

This blog provides an overview on the HAB Act of 2025

Discover how phytoplankton provides municipalities with a natural method to address wastewater nutrient pollution in lakes and waterways. Cities and counties benefit from reduced water management costs compared to reactive chemical treatments.

Discover the fascinating types of phytoplankton! Learn about diatoms, dinoflagellates, and cyanobacteria, and their critical roles in ecosystems.

Phytoplankton has become one of the most effective solutions available to naturally outcompete harmful algae while restoring ecosystem balance. Learning to leverage phytoplankton can be your secret weapon for effective algae treatment without copper's ecological trade-offs. The shift towards phytoplankton-based solutions represents a more holistic and environmentally friendly approach for algal bloom treatment and ecological control of lakes and ponds.

Learn how utilizing phytoplankton in agriculture irrigation ponds reduces excess nutrients while providing biostimulation for farming soils.

This is a discussion of how Eutrophication Leads to Fish Kills

A brief article on the improtance of phytoplankton to develop fish fry, minnows and the primary food chain.

This article is about how cyanobacteria can utilize and fixate atmospheric nitrogen to use as a fertilizer.

This provides an overview of how good algae (phytoplankton) can help promote lake wellness and combat bad algae.

Overview of the importance of copepods in freshwater aquarium and ponds.
