The Indian River Lagoon has been suffering recently because of microscopic algae blooms, which have caused mass die-offs of seagrass, which shelters aquatic species and is the primary food for manatees. The Orlando Sentinel's Kevin Spear reports manatees began dying in the areas that had the worst seagrass loss last year, but no cause of death has officially been determined.
His report said 80 manatees have been found dead thus far. Brown pelicans also have died in the area, but scientists have not been able to come up with an explanation for their deaths. So far, more than 200 pelican carcasses have been found, Spear reported.
"Manatees eat plants, and pelicans eat fish. The only thing they share is water," Dan Wolf, a state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologist, told Spear. Investigators believe that manatees are eating gracilaria, a red-colored alga, because of the seagrass shortage and because the dead manatees' stomachs are full of it. Gracilaria isn't known to be toxic, but scientists are trying to find whether some type of toxin is at work.
Wolf said that when the manatees die, it appears to happen quickly, but the pelicans are plagued with parasites for weeks before they perish. The question now is whether the lagoon is transforming from a system where seagrasses and large algae absorb nutrient pollution to a system in which microscopic algae are in control. "Because of what's going on with manatees, we're on alert," Megan Stolen, a scientist at Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute, said, according to Spear's article, which said the institute documented five dolphin deaths in February, up from the month's average of 2.3 deaths.
Lakes, rivers, India has been suffering recently due to microscopic algae Bloomsburg. Overall, causing die-offs of sea grass. Residences Aquarium And a staple food for manatees Orlando Sentinel of Kevin Pike reported manatees began dying in areas with the worst damage seagrass year. But the cause of death was officially determined.His report that 80 manatees found dead so far. Brown Pelicans have died in the area. But scientists have not been able to explain the past.

The only thing they use is the water wolf, the state of conservation of fish and wildlife biologist, said Pike. Detectives believe that manatees eat gracilaria, alga red due to lack of sea grass and the stomachs of dead manatees full of it. Gracilaria not toxic, but scientists are trying to find some toxic substances used in the workplace.Wolf said when manatees die to happen quickly, but pelicans are plagued with parasites in the week before they perish. Now the question is That the lake will shift from a system that seagrasses and algae absorb large nutrient pollution, with microscopic algae, which controls the system. "Because of what happened with the manatees, we're reminded Megan Stolen, a scientist at the Institute of World Hubbs said Spears's article, which said five of the dolphins died in February from the month's average of 2.3 deaths.

Indian River Lagoon has suffered recently because of microscopic algae blooms, which have caused a mass die offs of fish and sea grass, which shelters a staple food for manatees. The Orlando Sentinel reported Kevin Pike manatees began dying in the area with the loss of seagrass, the worst in recent years. The cause of death has not been officially determined. His report said that 80 manatees have been found thus far. Brown pelicans are also killed in the area. But scientists have not been able to come up with an explanation for their deaths. So far, more than 200 dead pelicans have been found Spear reports. "Manatees herbivorous fish and pelicans. The only thing they share is the water, "said Dan Wolf, the state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologist says Pike. Researchers believe that manatees are eating Gracilaria, due to shortage of red algae, seagrass and the manatees died due to it. Gracilaria is not known to be toxic. However, scientists are trying to find some kind of toxins in the workplace. Wolf said when manatees died, it appears to happen quickly. But pelicans are plagued with parasites before they perish. The question is whether the lake is changing from a system of sea grass and algae absorb large nutrient pollution to the system that microscopic algae in control. "Because of what happened with manatees are on alert," said Megan Stolen scientists. Hubbs-SeaWorld Pike Research Institute, said the article, which said five of document dolphin died in February, up from a monthly average of 2.3 deaths.

Indian River Lagoon has been suffering recently. This is because the algae bloom. Which caused mass deaths Dislike of sea grass Which shelters species And a staple food for dugongs, Orlando Sentinel, Kevin Spear began to report manatee deaths in the area that has lost seagrass worst last year. However, no official cause of death.
Defined The report said 80 dugongs had been found dead so far. Brown Pelican also died in the area. However, scientists were unable to explain their deaths. So far, more than 200 pelicans were found dead spear report.
"Dugong is herbivorous fish and pelicans. The only thing they share water, "said Dan Wolf. State fish biologists Wildlife Conservation Commission said Pike. Researchers believe that Dugong feeding grounds are a red algae. Due to shortage of seagrass and dugongs died of stomach is really full. The system is called the poisoning, the scientists are trying to find some kind of toxic substances in the workplace.
Wolf said the dugong deaths It seemed to happen quickly. But pelicans are plagued with parasites for weeks before dying. The question is whether The lake will change from a large algae and seagrasses absorb nutrient pollution to the system of micro algae. In control. "But what is happening with the manatee. We'll alert "Megan stolen. Scientists at the Research Institute of the hub's Sea World said. According to the law, which says that Spears Institute held five dolphins died in February, up from January's average of 2.3 deaths.
