RESUMEN

Despite the implementation of intensive phosphorus reduction measures, periodic outbreaks of cyanobacterial blooms in large rivers remain a problem in Korea, raising the need for more effective solutions to reduce their occurrence. This study sought to evaluate whether phosphorus or nitrogen limitation is an effective approach to control cyanobacterial (Microcystis) blooms in river conditions that favor this non-nitrogen-fixing genus. These conditions include nutrient enrichment, high water temperature, and thermal stratification during summer. Mesocosm bioassays were conducted to investigate the limiting factors for cyanobacterial blooms in a river reach where severe Microcystis blooms occur annually. We evaluated the effect of five different nitrogen (3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 mg/L) and phosphorus (0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mg/L) concentrations on algae growth. The results indicate that nitrogen treatments stimulated cyanobacteria (mostly Microcystis aeruginosa) more than phosphorus. Interestingly, phosphorus additions did not stimulate cyanobacteria, although it did stimulate Chlorophyceae and Bacillariophyceae. We conclude that phosphorus reduction might have suppressed the growth of Chlorophyceae and Bacillariophyceae more than that of cyanobacteria; therefore, nitrogen or at least both nitrogen and phosphorus control appears more effective than phosphorus reductions alone for reducing cyanobacteria in river conditions that are favorable for non-nitrogen-fixing genera.
