TL;DR: In this article, a trend of increasing phytoplankton standing stock from 1984 to 2002 appeared in the Changjiang River estuary and adjacent coastal waters, especially in late spring.

TL;DR: The bloom progression was related to the change in availability of both organic and inorganic N and P, and reduced N forms, especially NH4+, were preferentially taken up during the blooms, but different bloom species had different rates of uptake of organic N substrates.

TL;DR: Comprehensive analysis of anthropogenic and natural biotic and abiotic factors reveals that human activities, regional physicochemical conditions and algal physiological characteristics as well as ocean warming and biological interactions (with microorganism or other macroalgae) are closely related to the occurrence of green tides.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors projected that nutrients from mariculture will increase up to six fold by 2050 with exceedance of the nutrient assimilative capacity in parts of the world where mariculture growth is already rapid.

TL;DR: It is concluded that blooms in the coastal waters of Qinhuangdao of the Bohai Sea were brown tides caused by A. anophagefferens, the causative species of brown tides on the east coast of USA.
