According to the mysterious ‘red waves’ and its description of reaching the Florida coast

Scientists finally discovered the reason behind the mysterious red waves that appear on the beaches Fluorida: With some frequency, shown in the sea A confused blood red.

This red water has been known until now They are the most ruthless to the environment Local governments are expensive, but the right reason has so far triggered researchers.

For the first time, scientists have almost identified A dozen virus Red Maria is associated with events, and they are found that they are caused by massive algae growth and collects Daily mail.

The color of the waves is water currents and For the nutrients of the seaAs well as an increase in sea temperature, they can return the algae.

The authorities are found Forced to close many beaches In recent years, it is known that red waves have caused health problems in fish, birds and even humans.

Jean Lim, Postacterol Researcher The Faculty of Marine Sciences of the University of South FloridaHe appreciated an early discovery that allows researchers to predict when events occur.

“We know that viruses play an important role in mechanics Harmful algae flowersBut we don’t know what virus is associated with flowers Karenia Brevis“, Diplore Lim.

“Now we have identified many viruses in the Red Tight Flowers. We can work to determine What virus may influence in these cases “The scientist continues.

Florida experiences almost every year, usually at the end of the summer and suggests that the state’s central and southwest coast occur Fisheries and Wildlife Protection Authority From Florida who participated in the study.

Flowers can last for three to five months And the commission said it would have hundreds of square kilometers. Fighting them is expensive for dollar authorities, and the last discovery last month has extended more than 320 kilometers from Tampa Bay to Key West.

The study has identified the body that causes red waves Karenia BrevisIt was collected during the events of the previous red waves. To find viruses, researchers used the technique of virus metagenological Analyze the DNA of the model.

This study has been published in the magazine msphere of Microbiology of the American Society, Experts expect how viruses can affect the organisms to turn the tide flowers red.
