TL;DR: A broad spectrum of events that come under the category of green tide are recognized world-wide as a response to elevated levels of seawater nutrients in coastal areas as discussed by the authors, and they involve a wide diversity of sites, macroalgal species, consequences, and possible causes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of the draft genome of Saccharina japonica, one of the most economically important seaweeds, was presented and 18,733 protein-coding genes were predicted and annotated.

TL;DR: A simple PCR method of using the specific primers was developed for identifying genetic sex of half-smooth tongue sole using a single-locus polymerase-chain reaction (PCR) marker of a sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR).

TL;DR: A protocol for the induction of artificial gynogenesis of half-smooth tongue sole has been developed for the first time, and the sex determination mechanism in the tongue sole was determined to be female heterogametic with the ZW chromosome.

TL;DR: In this article, Ulva prolifera green tides in the Yellow Sea of China in the past 3 years are among the largest macroalgal blooms ever recorded, however, their place of origin remains unclear.
