Lake Maria (08/03/2011) - Micrasterias radiata. Several species of Micrasterias are cosmopolitan. Habitat group P (eutrophic epilimnia) in Reynolds (2006) -- Tolerant to mild light and carbon deficiency; sensitive to stratification. Lake Maria (08/03/2011) - Mougeotia sp. Common in lakes, ponds, and rivers. Habitat group T (deep, well-mixed epilimnia) in Reynolds (2006) -- tolerant to light deficiency; sensitive to nutrient deficiency. Occasionally forms blooms in the littoral zone of lakes undergoing acidification. Lake Maria (08/03/2011) - Small Anabaena sp. Common worldwide. Some form surface blooms and some are recorded as toxic. Habitat group Sn (warm mixed layers) in Reynolds (2006) -- tolerant to light deficiency; sensitive
to flushing. If present in large numbers, can
cause taste and odor problems in drinking waters and can cause filter
clogging. Presence considered to be a good indicator of mesotrophic to
eutrophic conditions.
Lake Pineda (08/03/2011) - Spirogyra sp., Onychonema sp., Mougiotia sp., Anabaena sp., and various periphyton.
Lake Sophia (08/03/2011) - Pediastrum sp. Found in lakes and ponds and free-flowing rivers that are nutrient rich. Habitat group P (shallow, enriched lakes, ponds, and rivers) in Reynolds (2006) -- sensitive to settling into low light. If present in large numbers, can cause taste and odor problems in drinking waters.
Lake Isabella (08/03/2011) - Oscillatoria sp.
Found worldwide and many are cosmopolitan growing among other algae in lakes, ponds, and pools, and in slow-flowing rivers. Habitat group S1 (turbid mixed layers) in Reynolds (2006) -- tolerant to high light-deficient conditions; sensitive to flushing. | Lake Maria (08/03/2011) - Pleurotaenium trabecula. Several species of Pleurotaenium are cosmopolitan. Habitat group P (eutrophic epilimnia) in Reynolds (2006) -- Tolerant to mild light and carbon deficiency; sensitive to stratification.
Lake Maria (08/03/2011) - Large Anabaena sp. Common worldwide. Some form surface blooms and some are recorded as toxic. Habitat group Sn (warm mixed layers) in Reynolds (2006) -- tolerant to light deficiency; sensitive
to flushing. If present in large numbers, can cause taste and odor problems in drinking waters and can cause filter clogging. Presence considered to be a good indicator of mesotrophic to eutrophic conditions.
Lake Maria (08/03/2011) - Botryococcus sp. Found in the phytoplankton and metaphyton of ponds and lakes. Habitat group F (clear epilimnia) in Reynolds (2006) -- tolerant to low nutrients; sensitive
to high turbidity.
Lake Pineda (08/03/2011) - Spirogyra sp., Mougiotia sp., Anabaena sp., and various periphyton.
Lake Sophia (08/03/2011) - Synedra sp. and Microcystis sp.
Synedra found widespread and may be abundant at times. Habitat group D (shallow, enriched turbid waters) in Reynolds (2006) -- tolerant to flushing: sensitive to nutrient depletion. Can produce both unwanted taste and odor problems in drinking water and when in large numbers, clog filters.
Lake Isabella (08/03/2011) - Melosira varians.
Abundant is naturally eutrophic and polluted streams and lakes; generally benthic in habitat but also common in the plankton. Habitat group D (shallow, enriched turbid waters) in Reynolds (2006) -- tolerant to flushing: sensitive to nutrient depletion. Can grow on and cause filter
clogging. | Lake Maria (08/03/2011) - Pediastrum duplex. Found in lakes and ponds and free-flowing rivers that are nutrient rich. Habitat group P (shallow, enriched lakes, ponds, and rivers) in Reynolds (2006) -- sensitive to settling into low light. If present in large numbers, can cause taste and odor problems in drinking waters.
Lake Maria (08/03/2011) - Small Anabaena sp.
Common worldwide. Some form surface blooms and some are recorded as toxic. Habitat group Sn (warm mixed layers) in Reynolds (2006) -- tolerant to light deficiency; sensitive
to flushing. If present in large numbers, can
cause taste and odor problems in drinking waters and can cause filter
clogging. Presence considered to be a good indicator of mesotrophic to
eutrophic conditions.
Lake Pineda (08/03/2011) - Spirogyra sp.
Extremely common and occasionally abundant in stagnant flowing water and in shallow lake water habitats with neutral or slightly acidic pH values and often mixed with other filamentous algae in benthic or floating masses.
Lake Sophia (08/03/2011) - Microcystis sp.
Extremely common and known worldwide forming dense blooms in eutrophic waters. Many strains are toxic. If present in large numbers, can
cause taste and odor problems in drinking waters and can cause filter
clogging. Habitat group Lm (summer epilimnia in eutrophic lakes) in Reynolds (2006) -- tolerant to very low C and stratification; sensitive to flushing and low total light.
Lake Isabella (08/03/2011) - Oscillatoria sp.
Found worldwide and many are cosmopolitan growing among other algae in lakes, ponds, and pools, and in slow-flowing rivers. Habitat group S1 (turbid mixed layers) in Reynolds (2006) -- tolerant to high light-deficient conditions; sensitive to flushing.
