Summary: In January 2020, a golden seaweed tide occurred in the Yellow Sea of China, causing significant economic losses to local seaweed farmers. The floating Sargassum thalli drifted around Pyropia aquaculture areas until May 2020, eventually posing an ecological threat to coastal areas in Jiangsu and Shandong provinces. The local government is developing an emergency plan to prevent future golden tides and it is crucial to understand the mechanisms behind Sargassum blooms.

Summary: Green macroalgal blooms have been a continuous issue in the Yellow Sea, with attached Ulva on aquaculture rafts identified as the main source. The use of NaClO solution has proven to be an effective method to control and prevent these blooms, with minimal impact on the marine ecosystem. Further monitoring and evaluation are needed to assess the long-term effectiveness of the NaClO treatment on green tide formation.

Summary: The study developed a physical-ecological model, FMGDM, to predict the dynamic growth and drift pattern of floating macroalgae based on Lagrangian particle tracking and ocean ecological processes. By simulating the green tide around the Yellow Sea in 2014 and 2015, the model was shown to accurately predict the spatial and temporal development of the blooms with a 7-8 day forecast window, demonstrating its effectiveness and robustness in forecasting floating macroalgal blooms.

Summary: A large amount of Ulva micro-propagules was detected in the Subei Shoal during the green tide in the Yellow Sea, while no micro-propagules were found in the open sea area after the green tide. Ulva prolifera was the dominant species, but its quantity decreased significantly.

Summary: This study identified U. aragoensis as a constituent species of green tides in the Southern Yellow Sea (SYS) based on molecular data. The study also found that U. aragoensis was more prevalent in micro-propagules cultured from surface seawater during an early-stage green tide in 2021. Comparing gene sequences, tufA and rbcL genes were determined to be the most suitable DNA barcodes for distinguishing U. aragoensis. Haplotype analysis revealed close similarities between floating U. aragoensis and its micro-propagules. This research clarifies the species composition of SYS green tides and provides insights into the relationship between micro-propagules and green tide macroalgae.

Summary: The most massive outbreak of Ulva prolifera green tides in the southwestern Yellow Sea occurred in 2021, with significantly increased discharge of the Changjiang River and southerly wind stress anomaly during winter 2020-2021 identified as crucial factors. Nutrient enrichment off the Subei coast and the upwind transport of Changjiang water were also important contributors, with easterly wind anomaly during spring 2021 aiding in the landing of Ulva prolifera off the Lunan coast.

Summary: Macroalgal blooms pose a serious threat to public health, fisheries, ecosystems, and global economies. The elimination of Ulva attached to aquaculture rafts can effectively prevent and control blooms. This study found that dried Neopyropia yezoensis and its culture filtrates and thalli have strong inhibitory effects on Ulva prolifera germination and attachment, suggesting their potential use to control green tides at the source.

Summary: Green tide outbreaks in the Southern Yellow Sea of China since 2007 have caused significant economic losses and environmental damage. A relatively small scale of green tide outbreaks in 2018 and 2020 were observed due to the killing of green macroalgae attached to cultivation ropes and early removal of aquaculture rafts. To address current challenges in green tide prevention, a comprehensive control method combining ecological farming, early prevention, and resource utilization is proposed.

Summary: This study proposed a method to prevent the development of Ulva bloom by inactivating the overwintering banks of green algae on Porphyra yezoensis cultivation ropes in February and early March. Chlorine dioxide was used as an algaecide to effectively inhibit the growth of green algae on the ropes, reducing the magnitude of Ulva blooms in the Yellow Sea.

Summary: Large numbers of Amphipoda feed on floating green tide macroalgae in the Yellow Sea, with Ampithoe valida being the most abundant species in stable and decline periods. Ampithoe valida has a preference for Ulva as a food source. The physiological responses of A. valida to different temperatures, salinities, and pH levels, as well as its feeding potential on Ulva prolifera, were investigated. The study also explored the potential of using A. valida as a biological method to control green tide outbreaks in the Southern Yellow Sea.
