	Catcherman.com - Golden Alga Blooms
		Golden alga is a one-celled organism that can undergo photosynthesis and can also produce several different chemicals capable of killing fish, clams, and the alga's predators.
		Golden alga kills fish by releasing toxins into the water that cause fish gills to bleed internally and lose their ability to work properly.
		The most important result of the golden alga meeting was the increased communication and commitment of scientists and managers to work together to manage harmful golden alga blooms and reduce their impacts.

	Water Quality: Red and Brown Tides
		Golden alga is still another harmful algal bloom which has impacted Texas in recent years, although it has impacted salty inland waters rather than bays and estuaries.
		Fish kills from the golden alga -- Prymnesium parvum -- have been documented since 1985, when waters of the Pecos River were filled with dead fish which has come into contact with the toxins released from the golden alga.
		Golden alga is not believed to impact non-aquatic species like cows or humans which drink the water, however, although caution when handling fish impacted by golden alga is recommended.

		Originally they were taken to include all such forms except the diatoms and multicellular brown algae, but since then they have been divided into several different groups based on pigmentation and cell structure.
		They are now usually restricted to a core group of closely related forms, distinguished primarily by the structure of the flagella in motile cells, also treated as an order Chromulinales.

		The fish kills are caused by excessive concentrations (blooms) of a bio-toxic golden alga Prymnesium parvum, a microscopic plant that exists in the Brazos River watershed.
		The golden alga was relatively unknown in the western hemisphere prior to 1986, and was first discovered in Texas during a fish kill on the Pecos River.
		Normally undetectable, the golden alga is usually only noticeable during blooms, when it imparts a yellowish to golden-brown color to the water.

	Secrets on the Surface
		Unexplained fish kills in a variety of Texas lakes, rivers, and hatcheries have been occurring since the middle-1980srecently these dilemmas have been traced to golden alga, which is a nearly invisible floating plant that uses small levels of salinity and ammonia to live.
		This alga poses no threats to humans, livestock, or wildlife (similar to recent statements made about snakeheads), but it destroys the gills of gill-breathing creatures like fish, mussels, and clamsthe key fish at risk in Texas so far have been largemouth bass, striped bass, shad, and trout.
		One of the ironies involved with this complex organism is that the toxin it excretes to destroy gill cells is triggered by the lack of phosphorus in the water.

		To date, we have completely sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of Prototheca wickerhamii (green alga), Porphyra purpurea (red alga), Rhodomonas salina (cryptomonad alga), Ochromonas danica (chrysophyte alga), Cafeteria roenbergensis (bicosoecid zooflagellate), Acanthamoeba castellanii (rhizopod amoeba) and Tetrahymena pyriformis (ciliate protozoon).
		The sequencing of other mitochondrial genomes is in progress, including those of Pedinomonas minor (green alga); Reclinomonas americana, Malawimonas jakobiformis and Jakoba libera (jakobid flagellates); Chrysodidymus synuroideus (golden alga); and Thraustochytrium aureum (stramenopile).
