Can Alkyl Quaternary Ammonium Cations Substitute H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> in Controlling Cyanobacterial Blooms—Laboratory and Mesocosm Studies
Mitigation of harmful cyanobacterial blooms that constitute a serious threat to water quality, particularly in eutrophic water, such as in aquaculture, is essential. Thus, in this study, we tested the efficacy of selected cyanocides towards bloom control in laboratory and outdoor mesocosm experiment...
