Abstract

Fish kills in Southeast Asia are frequently associated with harmful algal blooms (HABs) and cause significant ecological and economic impacts and can have negative effects on the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems and the fisheries they support. This paper serves as a review of fish-kill events with focus on those related to HABs within the region. It examines the causative algal species, known mechanisms of fish mortality, and socio-economic consequences in order to better understand and manage this threat to sustainable fisheries. Fish kills have been reported across multiple countries within Southeast Asia, with notable hotspots in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand. The common harmful microalgal species span a diverse group including dinoflagellates (Karenia spp., Karlodinium spp., Margalefidinium polykrikoides, Noctiluca scintillans), raphidophytes (Chattonella spp.), diatoms (Skeletonema spp. and Chaetoceros spp.), and cyanobacteria (Trichodesmium spp.). These microalgae lead to fish kills through mechanisms such as hypoxia, physical gill damage, and ichthyotoxin production. Freshwater fish kills linked to HABs have also been documented for the Philippines, but there is no or limited information for the region. Our review highlights the widespread and recurring nature of fish kills, their impact on fisheries and aquaculture, and challenges in managing and mitigating their effects. There are efforts at enhancing management and mitigation using clay and early warning systems. However, it is essential to further improve monitoring efforts, the development and deployment of early warning systems, and viable and holistic mitigation strategies to protect the region's aquatic resources and dependent communities, especially as aquaculture and coastal development are increasing concurrent with a changing climate that can exacerbate the risks of fish kills and HABs in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Blooms of Gymnodinium catenatum have occurred occasionally in different areas of China and caused tremendous economic loss and even threatened human health. Not only is G. catenatum an important harmful-algal-bloom (HAB)-causing species, but also the only gymnodinioid dinoflagellate known to produce paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins (PSTs). Due to the germination of resting cysts, which often initiates blooms, the distribution and abundance of cysts in sediments and particularly the confirmation of cyst beds are important information for understanding and predicting dinoflagellate blooms. In this research, 199 sediment samples were collected from China's coastal seas, ranging from the Beidaihe in the Bohai Sea (BS) to the southernmost sample from the Nansha Islands of the South China Sea (SCS). TaqMan quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays with species-specific primers and probes were developed to specifically detect the distribution and abundance of cysts in the 199 samples. The detection revealed that G. catenatum cysts were widely present in the sediments (126 of the 199 samples), with 93.55%, 74.65%, 42.37%, and 50% of the samples detected positively from the BS, YS, ECS and SCS, respectively, and covering the vast sea area from Nansha Islands to the Beidaihe area. The single-cyst morpho-molecular identification in the samples from Beidaihe confirmed the existence of G. catenatum cysts in the BS, and the positive detections of G. catenatum cysts using the qPCR methods. While G. catenatum cysts were widely distributed in all four seas of China, the average abundance was relatively low (1.0 cyst per gram of wet sediment). Three samples from the East China Sea (ECS), however, contained G. catenatum cysts at a relatively higher level (23 cysts g−1 wet sediment) than other sea areas, suggesting a pertinence of cyst abundance to the frequent occurrences of G. catenatum blooms in the area during recent years. Collectively, for G. catenatum being such an important toxic and HAB-causing species globally, the ubiquitous distribution of its cysts along the coastal waters of China and higher abundance in the bloom-prone areas warns us of a risk that cyst beds, although currently low in abundance, may seed HABs in any and many sea areas of China at any forthcoming year, and particularly those areas with records of frequent HABs outbreaks in the past.
