Abstract/Description
-
The goal of this investigation was to develop methods for prediction and control of red tide outbreaks. The program included the collection of chemical, meteorological, and hydrographic information at approximately monthly intervals at various river, coastal, and offshore stations. Presented are data collected between 1949 and 1952, which includes phosphorus data.

Abstract/Description

This 1954 document reports the distribution of inorganic and total phosphorus in the waters along the west coast of Florida for a period of more than 16 months. Some upwelling to subsurface levels is evident but no hydrographic feature occurs which could account for the high values of phosphorus found during the "red tide" of 1946-1947. There is no evidence that either leaching from the bottom of the Gulf or outflow from local rivers contributes large quantities of phosphorus to the Gulf...
Show moreThis 1954 document reports the distribution of inorganic and total phosphorus in the waters along the west coast of Florida for a period of more than 16 months. Some upwelling to subsurface levels is evident but no hydrographic feature occurs which could account for the high values of phosphorus found during the "red tide" of 1946-1947. There is no evidence that either leaching from the bottom of the Gulf or outflow from local rivers contributes large quantities of phosphorus to the Gulf waters. However, values of total phosphorus comparable to those of the red tide were found in blooms of Trichodesmium floating on the surface over water of very low phosphorus content.
