Hot, Lazy River Algae Breeding Ground The slower the Neuse River flows across North Carolina's coastal plain, the greater the chance of it developing unsightly and potentially harmful algal blooms, say a pair of biologists from East Caroiina University. Drs. Robert R. Christian and Donaid W. Staniey say the growth of Microcystis algae that periodically paints the river between Goldsboro and New Bern with a blue-green scum is triggered by a combination of low water flow and by the presence of nutrients that trickle into the river from farm fieids, and from urban and industriai sites. The scientists hope to further verify their observations and devise a method of predicting theoccuranceof algal blooms in research they are conducting on the river this summer. Aigai blooms become a nuisance about once in every three years and only during the months of Juiy and August. Christian noted. When it occurs, it affects an area of the river starting near the Ciiffs of the Neuse in Wayne County stretching to within a few miles of New Bern. It covers the river with a smelly, blue-green scum that may be responsible for fish kiils and threatens the use of the river for fishing, boating, drinking water and for agricultural and industrial purposes. "In 1982, we were out there and there was no bloom of algae in the river even though the cohcentration of nutrients in the river was very high,” Christian said. "In 1983, the water was essentially the same in terms of nutrients but there was a massive bioom of algae," he said. "The one big difference between the river in those two years was the actuai fiow of the river, in 1983, the river's flow was much slower than in 1982,” Christian said. He noted that there are a couple of factors at work. One is that when the river is in a "low flow condition” the aigae floats to the surface where it gets more light which enhances its growth. “The other factor and the one in which we'll be studying this summer” he says, “is the fact that when you have iow flow, the water stays in the river longer giving the algae more time to develop.” In their study, the scientists plan to examine the growth rates of the algae under a variety of light and temperature conditions and compare it with dilution rates and times of travei for a variety of river flow conditions. The ECU scientists have received a $24,085 grant from the Water Resources Research Institute for further study of the relationship between river flow and blue-green algal blooms in the Neuse River. The grant is a continuation of a Neuse River algae study begun by the scientists severai years ago. Christian is an associate professor of biology at ECU and Stanley is an associate scientist with the ECU Institute for Coastai and Marine Resources (ICMR).
