Climate change: a catalyst for global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms. (2009, background): “The high salt tolerance of these ‘freshwater’ cyanobacteria is reflected by increasing numbers of blooms in brackish waters, for example, in the Baltic Sea in Scandinavia (Kanoshina et al., 2003; Suikkanen et al., 2007), the Caspian Sea in west Asia (Dumont, 1998), the Küçükçekmece Lagoon in Turkey ”
Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms: Causes, Consequences, and Controls (2013, background): “This is especially true of regions where freshwater runoff is limited and/or is periodically impacted by droughts [124].”
Seagrasses of south–west Australia: A conceptual synthesis of the world's most diverse and extensive seagrass meadows (2007, background): “These nutrient processes can be significant in supplying nitrogen, the nutrient with the greatest potential to limit phytoplankton abundance in the upper Swan River Estuary, during summer months (Thompson and Hosja, 1996; Thompson, 1998).”
Salt tolerance of the harmful cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa (2007, background): “Moreover, the observed salt tolerance is consistent with observations of Microcystis spp. blooms in brackish waters, e.g. in the Patos Lagoon Estuary in Brazil (Matthiensen et al. 2000), the Oued Mellah reservoir, Morocco (Sabour et al. 2002), the Swan River Estuary, Australia (Robson & Hamilton 200”
Climate change: links to global expansion of harmful cyanobacteria. (2012, background): “Examples include the Swan River and its estuary in Australia, Hartbeespoort dam reservoir, South Africa, the Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina, and the Potomac Estuary, Maryland, USA (Sellner et al., 1988; Robson and Hamilton, 2003; Huisman et al., 2005; Paerl, 2008).”
The influence of environmental conditions on the seasonal variation of Microcystis cell density and microcystins concentration in San Francisco Estuary (2008, background): “It is unlikely that Microcystis grew outside of the freshwater habitats in the central delta where salinities are commonly less than 5 ppt (Lehman et al., 2005) because Microcystis does not grow at salinities above 7 ppt (Robson & Hamilton, 2003).”
Summer heatwaves promote blooms of harmful cyanobacteria (2008, background): “…a very hot summer weather, with water temperatures approaching 30 1C. Model studies showed that these exceptionally high water temperatures, in combination with unusual hydrological conditions, favoured the bloom development of Microcystis in the Swan River estuary (Robson & Hamilton, 2003, 2004).”
