Description
- Abstract: Tenmile Lakes were sampled to assess the dynamics of the potentially toxic blue-green algal species, Microcystis aeruginosa and Anabaena flos-aquae. Microcystis produces hepatotoxins (known as microcystins), and Anabaena produces a neurotoxin (anatoxin-a). Both toxins are capable of harmful effects to animals and humans (Chorus and Bartram 1999). A toxic bloom of M. aeruginosa was first documented in Tenmmile Lakes in September of 1997, prompting the Oregon Department of Health to issue a health advisory recommending that the lakes not be used for drinking water and that contact recreation be avoided (Kann and Gilroy 1997). The goal of 2006 sampling, performed by the Tenmile Lakes Basin Partnership, was to determine presence and numbers of these potentially toxic species at a limited number of sampling stations. Cell density of the two potentially toxigenic species was then compared to drinking water guidance levels (e.g., Yoo et al. 1995; Chorus and Bartram 1999).
