摘要

Abstract

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) can elicit several negative effects on aquatic environment (such as depleting the oxygen

blocking the sunlight

destroying the habitats of organisms) and life health (including poisoning/killing marine mammals

birds and human). Among the various control strategies for HABs (physical manipulation needs lots of manpower and expensive equipment

chemicals treatment has some toxic byproduct and high residual

microbial agents only has limited in laboratory research)

the coagulation-flocculation of HAB species by modified clay (MC) has been proven to be an effective

low-cost and environmentally friendly method that has been widely applied in the field

particularly in eastern Asia. In order to examine the long-term effects of MC treatment

this study investigated the alternations in seawater of Skeletonema costatum

a high biomass dominant HAB species along the Chinese coast

by comparing the degradation of S. costatum detritus (A1) with the application of MC treatment (A2) and MC treatment in sediment condition (A3). The low dosage of 0.25 g/L MC could efficiently remove 4×108 cells/L of S. costatum cells within 3.5 h (approximately 97% removal). In addition

the results showed that both inorganic and organic nutrients were effectively reduced from seawater by MC particles. Compared to the total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations in A1 seawater

44% of TN and 93% of TP in A2 seawater

as well as 72% of TN and 93% of TP in A3 seawater were removed during the one-month incubation period. Simultaneously

64% of DISi in A2 and 44% of DISi in A3 significantly decreased (P<0.001). This study demonstrated that MC treatment was able to significantly increase the downward flux of nutrients and delay the release velocity of inorganic nutrient from MC-algae matrix into the overlying seawater

particularly within sediment environment.
