Distribution and Potential Risks of Frequent HABs Off Zhejiang

Abstract:

Based on the historical analysis and statistics of HAB events from 1933 to 2008, Skeletonema costatum, Prorocentrum donghaiense, Karenia mikimotoi, Noctiluca scintillans were identified as the most frequent HAB species reported in Zhejiang Coastal areas. Risk assessment considering the intensity, scale, duration, species, in accordance with the 0.25°×0.25°partition statistics, was adopted. Conclusion could be made that the extreme high HABs risk located at area A (30.5°N-30.75°N, 122.5°E-123°E), B (29.75°N-30.25°N, 122.25°E-122.75°E), C (28.25°N-28.5°N, 121.75°E-122°E), and D (27.25°N-27.5°N, 121.0°E-121.25°E), in which Prorocentrum donghaiense has the biggest causative risk.
