Article Synopsis
- The world's largest green tide, caused by the rapid growth of Ulva prolifera macroalgae, originated from the Jiangsu Shoal in the Yellow Sea and significantly affected the marine environment.
- A study analyzed the green tide's expansion between April 29 and June 25, 2016, using satellite images to track its growth rates.
- It was found that the growth rate was higher in turbid waters (up to 25% per day) and lower in clearer waters (down to 3% per day), indicating that water clarity may not control the algae's growth, which complicates management efforts.
The world's largest macroalgal blooms (MABs) caused by the Ulva prolifera outbreaks have occurred every summer since 2007 in the Southern Yellow Sea, China. Accumulating evidence showed that MABs may deteriorate the regional marine environment and influence the growth of some primary producers such as phytoplankton. In this study, we investigated the spatio-temporal patterns of U.

In the present study, the MODIS data were used to monitor the situation of Ulva prolifera in the Shandong Peninsula waters during the period of 2008-2012. Those studies mainly calculate the area of NDVI, and get the information of the time, area , scope , floating path of Ulva prolifera by using threshold segmentation method. The feasibility of monitoring Ulva prolifera information based on MODIS data and the macroscopic regularity of the outburst of Ulva prolifera was elementally studied.
