Emiliania huxleyi - in Norwegian waters Emiliania huxleyi is a coccolithophorid with a wide, global distribution.
huxleyi is not considered harmful, but dense blooms may lead to loss of appetite and change in behavior among farmed fish.
In 1992 Emiliania huxleyi was thoroughly studied in Norwegian waters.

 Emiliania huxleyi - Wikipedia
Emiliania huxleyi is een eencellig fytoplankton die behoort tot de kalkflagellaten (Coccolithophoridae), die weer behoren tot de algen.
Ondanks zijn geringe lengte is de soort soms zo massaal aanwezig dat de algen vanuit de ruimte(!) zijn waar te nemen, het feit dat calciet sterk licht terugkaatst heeft hier overigens ook mee te maken.
Emiliania huxleyi past zich zoals veel micro-organismen aan aan de omstandigheden door bepaalde stoffen in meer of juist mindere mate aan te maken.

The nomination of Emiliania huxleyi for the DOE's Microbial Genome Program (a spin-off of the Human Genome Project) was made by Cal State San Marcos molecular biologists Betsy Read and Tom Wahlund.
E. huxleyi is the most abundant of the coccolithophorids--phytoplankton distinguished by an intricate armor they construct of calcium carbonate.
For many years, scientists have studied E. huxleyi on an ecological and physiological level, said Read, because the organism plays such an important role in environmental processes, including heat dissipation in the ocean, paleoclimatology, the cycling of carbon, and sulfur exchange between the ocean and atmosphere.

The overarching goal of this effort is to test two hypotheses; 1) Emiliani huxleyi blooms play an important role in the ocean carbon cycle through calcification, export fluxes and feedbacks to their environment, and therefore directly impact the global distribution of ocean carbon sources and sinks; and 2) E.
huxleyi blooms occur in mid- and high latitude regions that are sensitive to climate variability and they can be used as a sensitive indicator species that integrates environmental changes into identifiable surface signals.
The specific objectives of this study are to: 1) document interannual and longer time-scale variability of the extent of Emiliania huxleyi blooms using satellite observations; 2) analyze the satellite-derived bloom variability with ocean and atmosphere reanalyses and other observations to quantify relationships between the observed climate variability and E.

huxleyi) is a unicelllular alga that is distinguished by its exquisitely sculptured calcium carbonate cell coverings known as coccoliths.
huxleyi is found throughout the world’s oceans and forms extensive blooms sometimes greater than 100,000 square kilometers with cell densities up to 10,000 cells ml
huxleyi has also been targeted by material scientists who are interested in the biomineralized skeletons for applications relating to biomedical products, lightweight ceramics, catalyst supports, and robust membranes for high temperature separation technologies (x).

Nonetheless spectacular blooms of one species, Emiliania huxleyi do often occur and have attracted much interest since they are readily detected by satellite imagery as a result of the high reflectivity of the bloom waters.
huxleyi is the single most common coccolithophore, in blooms it can reach abundances of several million cells per litre and E.
huxleyi is virtually ubiquitous in surface waters, it occurs at temperatures from near freezing to over 30°C and so from equatorial to arctic latitudes, in lowered and raised salinity conditions (ca 20-40ppt), and in both eutrophic and oligotrophic conditions and throughout the photic zone (ca 0-100m).

Thus the distribution and activities of this species may have a significant impact on climate, and on the ocean's ability to buffer changing CO 2 concentrations in the atmosphere.

 e-Prints Soton - Nitrate: phosphate ratios and Emiliania huxleyi blooms
This hypothesis is based on physiological studies showing that E. huxleyi has an exceptionally high affinity for orthophosphate and is able to use organic phosphate.
Recent E. huxleyi blooms on the southeastern Bering Sea shelf, however, occurred under low NO3: PO4 conditions, which is indicative of nitrogen rather than phosphorus stress.
These observations suggest that E. huxleyi is able to exploit situations where either phosphorus or nitrogen is limiting to competing species.

huxleyi, in response to elevated atmospheric CO, could increase carbon storage in the nitrogen-limited regions of the oceans and thus act as a negative feedback on rising atmospheric CO levels." In fact, they calculate that if the results they obtained for E.
huxleyi are indicative of the effects of CO on primary production in other N-limited phytoplankton, then changes of the magnitude they measured in E.
huxleyi due to increased CO could increase export production of the oligotrophic ocean by an amount equivalent to the estimated postindustrial increase in the terrestrial carbon sink.
