摘要

Abstract

Lake Kasumigaura

the second largest lake in Japan

has faced water quality challenges since the 1970s owing to rapid economic growth

land use changes

and increased wastewater discharge. Moreover

severe cyanobacterial blooms

particularly those of

Microcystis

were observed in the 1980s

emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ecological monitoring. We present the results of phytoplankton monitoring by the Ibaraki Kasumigaura Environmental Science Center (IKESC) since 2005 and the publication of information on cyanobacterial blooms for citizens since 2012. Our monitoring surveys identified distinct phytoplankton communities in Nishiura and Kitaura

the two main water bodies of Lake Kasumigaura

emphasizing the need for monitoring surveys at various sites in Lake Kasumigaura. Analysis of long-term phytoplankton data from the Lake Kasumigaura Database (National Institute of Environmental Studies

NIES) revealed that

Planktothrix

is the predominant cyanobacteria in Lake Kasumigaura. At IKESC

we have responded to these potentiall

y socially problematic phytoplankton blooms by releasing the “Bulletin of Cyanobacteria Blooms” in 2012 and the “Bulletin of Cyanobacteria Forecast” in 2020.
