Abstract

Abstract The potential for management of a Florida red tide outbreak is considered. Control agents that have been considered in the past are reviewed, and most are rejected in favor of a natural product (Aponin” produced by a marine green alga Nannochloris sp.) or in favor of biocontrol, i.e., direct seeding with Nannochloris sp. or similar species. The economics of biocontrol are compared with the reported cost of a typical red tide on the west coast of Florida.
