European carp have decimated native fish species in the Murray-Darling River…
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) which float in reservoirs have been studied for decades because when they bloom, the very high cell numbers cause a problem for water treatment plant (WTP) operators, who have to remove the cells, toxins, and taste and odour compounds they produce…
Before treated wastewater can be discharged to the environment, utilities are required to perform a direct toxicity assessment (DTA), which usually requires that live aquatic animals, such as fish, swim in the clean discharge water for 4-10 days while their growth and activity are observed and measured…
Water utilities lack the information they need to implement risk-based adaptation and planning strategies that incorporate climate change…
Cyanobacterial blooms are a major problem for reservoir managers because of the large numbers of cells and the toxins they contain…
This research has provided the most comprehensive account of the geographical distribution of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), and the toxins they produce, in Australia…
Blue-green algae are a nuisance, especially when they bloom and grow to high numbers in water storages and reservoirs…
