MEQ Topic Session
Harmful algal blooms in the PICES region: New trends
and potential links with anthropogenic influences
Co-Convenors: William P. Cochlan (U.S.A.) and Ichiro Imai (Japan)
This session will highlight recent advances in the understanding of the ecology and physiology of harmful algal
bloom (HAB) species in the coastal waters of the PICES region. Of particular interest will be laboratory and
field research where anthropogenic factors have been studied in order to elucidate if links exist between the
apparent increase in the duration, distribution and impact of HABs, and environmental factors associated with
human activities, including urban and agricultural runoff, climatic change and mariculture. This session will
complement the continuing series of annual MEQ workshops where two new HAB genera found in the PICES
region are examined in detail, but encourages studies of other HAB genera of interest in the coastal waters of the
North Pacific Ocean.
