Growth and Nutrient Uptake Characteristics of <i>Heterosigma akashiwo</i> (Raphidophyceae) under Nitrogen and Phosphorus Concentrations in the East China Sea

<i>Heterosigma akashiwo</i> is classified as a harmful algal bloom (HAB) species that frequently occurs in eutrophic coastal waters and results in the contamination and mortality of fish and shellfish. The growth of <i>H. akashiwo</i> in four phosphate and nitrate concentrati...

These results could serve as a reference for coastal water management and marine ecological management and may be useful for further studies on the simulation and prediction of <i>H. akashiwo</i> blooms, particularly in the ECS.
