General location information: |
Barataria Bay, Louisiana, HAB Area code(s): US-17 |
|
Additional location information: | Tidal estuary with salinity fluctuations. | |
Bloom event dates (yyyy/mm/dd): | ||
Quarantine levels dates (yyyy/mm/dd): | ||
Additional date-related information: | The species data below represents cell concentrations of HAB species above 10^5 cells/liter, with the exception of Prorocentrum which is reported above 10^4 and Anabaena spp. which are reported above 10^6. Cell concentrations were averaged over five stations in the estuary to generate an average concentration for each species on a single sample date. Data is from surface samples collected during routine sampling for the period Jan-Aug 2005 and were not associated with a particular bloom event. |
Causative organism known: | Yes | |
Causative Species/Genus: |
Anabaena spp.
