TL;DR: It was verified that 19% of the animals' samples were above the limit recommended by WHO for human consumption, which refers to healthy adult, and data demonstrate that, although in low concentrations, there is already a contamination of fish and crustaceans from Sepetiba Bay.

TL;DR: In this article, the main driving forces of the dominance of non-N2-fixing organisms in eight very productive Brazilian lakes are described and the main drivers of their dominance are considered, and the relative abundance of blue-greens is shown to have been positively related to temperature, but not to pH or total-P, and negatively associated with light, mixing, NO3 but not with NH4.

TL;DR: In this article, physical and chemical variables were measured at four sampling sites in two reservoirs in southern Brazil, from June 2002 to June 2003, with the goal of investigating how these factors influence the limnology of tropical reservoirs.

TL;DR: The authors' data showed that buoyant cyanobacteria could be flocked and effectively precipitated using a combination of PAC or chitosan with LMB or LRS and the soluble reactive P adsorbing capacity of both LMB and LRS under oxic and anoxic conditions.

TL;DR: The present study showed that under high and constant input of nutrients, other factors, especially physical variables, present a more plausible explanation to promote changes in species composition.
