<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;">Hello everyone as
a follow up to Jack's message ----</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;"><br>
The NOAA-Northwest Fisheries
Science Center was recently funded for the study of<i> Heterosigma
akashiwo</i>
ecology and oceanography in Puget Sound. This project starts now and
continues through the summer of 2013. The project goal is to identify
those conditions that promote toxicity of <i>Heterosigma</i> and the
specific
toxic elements that kill fish.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;">We are interested
in knowing
the locations of any <i>Heterosigma akashiwo</i> blooms or cells.
Please
let us know the date, time and specific global position (if by boat) or
shore
sampling location where these blooms were seen. We will be using these
cells for culture studies, but also want to respond to <i>Heterosigma</i>
events using a mobile lab that is currently being built.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;">Please contact
Jack Rensel, Vera Trainer (<a href="mailto:Vera.l.Trainer@noaa.gov"><span
style="color: windowtext;">Vera.l.Trainer@noaa.gov</span></a>)
or Brian Bill (<a href="mailto:brian.d.bill@noaa.gov"><span
style="color: windowtext;">brian.d.bill@noaa.gov</span></a>)
if you notice any Heterosigma cells or blooms in your sampling area.
Jack
Rensel will be helping coordinate bloom detection and field sampling of
several
groups and can be reached at <a href="mailto:jackrensel@att.net"><span
style="color: windowtext;">jackrensel@att.net</span></a> (cell
360-631-6538)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;">We are interested
in identifying
both farmed AND wild fish mortalities caused by these blooms, so please
let us
know if you have any observations of fish kills and we will respond any
time,
day or night.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;">Thanks very much
for your
help with this Heterosigma project. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: windowtext;">Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Welcome
to the fifth
year of SoundHAB operation. We are off to a slow start due to the
weather,
but that changes fast and so do blooms in our region. The purpose of
this list
serve is for researchers and managers to share timely information about
harmful
algal blooms throughout the Pacific Northwest but especially Western
Washington
marine waters. There are currently 92 members with several new members
this year and a few who will be actively monitoring discrete locations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;">We
are interested
in exchanging information on all types of HABs, fish kills (wild and
farmed),
unusual oceanographic events and related information. There are
currently
three major research groups in Western Washington involved in research
on <i>Heterosigma
akashiwo. </i>Also a study being published this month by Rensel, Haigh
and
Tynan has linked <i>Heterosigma</i> blooms with mortality of Fraser
River juvenile
sockeye salmon over the past 20 years. This raises the question about
other
salmon runs and marine fish, particularly those with strong riverine
influence
in the late spring, early summer during juvenile fish seawater entry
and the early
fall when some species of adult salmon return. <i>Alexandrium catenella</i>
and domoic acid toxin causing species remain high priority species and
we ask
that fish and shellfish farmers and others report blooms of any of
these
species immediately. We also can expect the unexpected in terms of new
or
recurring problem species, it is the nature of the work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
