SoundHAB: Possible Harmful Bloom in Totten Inlet

[Jack Rensel]

Gordon King of Taylor Shellfish reports a very dense bloom of some kind of
marine algae in portions of Totten Inlet presently.   If any SoundHAB
recipients are in the area and can sample, please take live or formalin
preserved samples so we can identify the potential culprit.   

 

Also, several of you have asked about the HAB publication that I just
produced with Tim Tynan and Nicky Haigh about Heterosigma affecting wild
fish and salmon, so I attach it here for your use.  This is pertinent to
Totten Inlet as the Kennedy Creek Chum would normally be milling in the area
at this time, with mean run timing of mid November. 

 

Best regards,

 

Jack
