Toxic algal blooms, sometimes called red tides, have in the past killed huge numbers of fish, shellfish, marine mammals, birds, and can cause skin and respiratory problems in humans
Once there, plant-like bacteria use the iron to set the stage for red tides
"This is one of the first studies that quantitatively measured iron from the dust and tied it to red tides through Trichodesmium, " said Jason Lenes, a graduate student at University of South Florida's College of Marine Science, and the lead author in the study
Scientists have labored for several years in an effort to develop a reliable method to predict red tides, particularly because the results of these blooms can be both physically and economically devastating to a region
"The West Florida shelf is a hot spot for fishing, aquaculture and tourism, all of which can be drastically affected by a surprise visit from a red tide, " said Lenes
Also, eating shellfish poisoned by red tides can lead to paralysis and memory problems
Around the Gulf of Mexico, scientists and others have recorded fish kills totaling in the millions and manatee deaths in the hundreds resulting from a single red tide bloom

Neurotoxins Fish Kills Eastern Shore Delaware to Ocean City Maryland Pfiesteria and Chattonella subsalsa aquatic health concerns in cold water climates.
This micro organism behaves similar to Pfiesteria micro toxin, causing fish kills, "red tides", and from empirical evidence being accumulated in Pokomoke Maryland, similar human health effects as pfiesteria
The micro organisms produce the toxins, and in small quantities are harmless, but when events occur like algae blooms often known as "red tides, " these organisms produce a quantity of toxins that is hazardous to humans, fish, and other mammal species (dolphins, whales, sea turtles, sea lions, etc...) -------------------------------------- Chattonella subsalsa Floridas Bayboro Harbor (Tampa Bay) clone produces brevetoxins, and will kill fish when purified
WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE: FISH KILLS AND THE FACTS: WHAT IS RED TIDE? Red tide is the result of a massive multiplication (or "bloom") of tiny, single celled algae called Gymnodinium breve (pronounced, "Jim-no-din-ee-um-bre-vay"), usually found in warm saltwater, but which can exist a lower temperatures
Some red tides have covered up to several hundred square miles of water
No one can predict when or where red tides will appear or how long they will last since they are affected by many variables such as weather and currents
