We started seeing this taxon last week. On Aug. 27, 2018 we were alerted to the presence of a dense surface scum on the shoreline and collected sample. The bloom was bright green and well developed (see photos).
This pond has had a major algae bloom most of the summer. I took a sample this day. The algae looks like grass clippings in the water.
floating algae mat near the east side of the lake. Heavy deposit of algal mats accumulated on the eastern shore.
Samples collected by Stephen Shivers, Betty Kreakie, and Bryan Milstead.
Water very green; definitely blooming.
With the algae torch we found a total chlorophyll of 40.2 µg/l with 28.9 µg/l due to cyanobacteria.
One horizontal tows collected near the boat ramp.
The phytoplankton assemblage was dominated by Aphanizomenon (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/12359277) but a few Fragilaria (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/12359325) also present.
