      Anderson, Donald M.; Karlson, Bengt (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
      There are multiple ways to preserve phytoplankton samples and determine the algal species composition and abundance. This Appendix provides details on some of the most common methods. Additional relevant publications are ...

    • Appendix 5. Autopsy and cleaning of reverse osmosis elements affected by harmful algal bloom-contaminated seawater. 

      Peña, Nuria; Chesters, Steve; Dixon, Mike B.; Boerlage, Siobhan F. E. (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
      Following an algal bloom, if a change is observed in the reverse osmosis (RO) performance, an initial visual plant inspection should be carried out, including looking at and removing cartridge filters and membrane elements ...

    • Best Practices in Aquaculture, EATIP-OBPS Workshop, Tuesday, 05 April 2022, 11.00 - I4.30 UTC (Online), Proceedings.
