This database provides extensive coverage of the world's literature on the science, technology, management, and conservation of marine, brackish water, and freshwater resources and environments, including their socio-economic and legal aspects.
This journal provides a forum to promote knowledge of harmful microalgae and macroalgae, including cyanobacteria, as well as monitoring, management and control of these organisms. Both original research and review papers are considered.
The Journal of Applied Phycology publishes work in the rapidly expanding field of the commercial use of algae.
Coverage includes fundamental research and development of techniques and practical applications in such areas as algal and cyanobacterial biotechnology and genetic engineering, tissues culture, culture collections, commercially useful micro-algae and their products, mariculture, algalization and soil fertility, pollution and fouling, monitoring, toxicity tests, toxic compounds, antibiotics and other biologically active compounds.
Each issue of the Journal also includes a short section for brief notes and general information on new products, patents and company news.
The Journal of Phycology was founded in 1965 by the Phycological Society of America. All aspects of basic and applied research on algae are included to provide a common medium for the ecologist, physiologist, cell biologist, molecular biologist, morphologist, oceanographer, taxonomist, geneticist, and biochemist. The Journal also welcomes research that emphasizes algal interactions with other organisms and the roles of algae as components of natural ecosystems.
ALGAE-L is a bulletin-board-type listerv list to which you can subscribe if you are interested in any aspect of algae (terrestrial, freshwater and marine), at any stage of your career. You receive postings (messages) sent to the list by other people and you in turn can post messages to the list.
AlgaeBase is a database of information on algae that includes terrestrial, marine and freshwater organisms. At present, the data for the marine algae, particularly seaweeds, are the most complete. For convenience, we have included the sea-grasses, even though they are flowering plants. Please note that AlgaeBase is purely meant as an aid to taxonomic studies and not a definitive source in its own right.
The mission of the ISA is to promote applied phycology on a global basis, and to stimulate interactions among research workers and industrialists in all relevant institutions and industries in all countries. One of the main activities of the ISA is the organisation of an International Seaweed Symposium once every 3 years.
The ISAP is a non-profit organization that aims to promote research, preservation of algal genotypes, and the dissemination of knowledge concerning the utilisation of algae. Student membership dues are 20 AUD annually (about $15)
The Phycological Society of America (PSA) was founded in 1946 to promote research and teaching in all fields of Phycology. They give student awards, grants, and fellowships for phycological research, and provide a wide array of algal web resources
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is the world's leading, independent non-profit organization dedicated to ocean research, exploration, and education. The primary objective of this site is to serve as a comprehensive resource for information about harmful algal blooms.
