It is the only fish that will graze on Audouinella black brush algae freshwater Rhodophyta , or red alga e , but even so will eat anything else in preference. American flag fish, Jordanella floridae , are also dependable algae eating fish. Many Loricariidae loricariid catfish of South America, such as genera Otocinclus , Ancistrus , and Plecostomus , constantly graze algae and biofilm , although many species of plecos , which attain an adult length of over 10 inches, eat much less frequently as they near adulthood.

Unreferenced date May 2009 Pink Algae is a growth of pink, slimey bacterial matter which can sometimes occur in pools and sometimes in laboratory tubings. The title is a misnomer, because, as noted before, pink algae is actually caused by a bacterium , in the genus methylobacterium . The color of the bacterial growth comes from pigments within its cells. The slime formed around the bacteria provides it with a relatively high level of protection from external threats. Like other species in its genus, pink algae is a methane consuming bacterium. It has an affinity for the matrix of PVC plastics, and will attach itself to both the inside and the outside of PVC materials inside of the pool. Pink algae infestation in a pool often occurs alongside an infestation of white water mold . Prevention Prevention of pink algae is the easiest way to deal with the problem. To ensure that pink algae does not grow in a pool, the owner must manually brush and clean all pool surfaces weekly, and regularly expose all pools surfaces to sunlight pink algae thrives in a dark environment, particularly in areas with slow moving water . Regular doses of certain chemicals are also recommended in a preventative plan against pink algae. Treatment All visible pink algae must be manually removed from a pool. A dose of algicide, followed by a shock treatment is also necessary to destroy the bacteria. The pool filter must be run constantly until the water is clear and halogen or peroxide levels are normal, then the filter must be chemically cleaned.

Ice algae is a general term used to describe all the various types of algal communities encountered in annual and multi year sea ice. The ice algal communities play an important role in primary production and are therefore considered an important part of both Polar ecosystems.

Although phytoplankton production is greater than that of ice algae on an annual basis in most offshore regions of the Southern Ocean , blooms of sea ice algae differ considerably from the phytoplankton in terms of timing and distribution. Thus sea ice algae provide food resources for higher trophic level organisms in seasons and regions where water column biological production is low or negligible. A different kind of ice algae live on glacier surfaces, a permanently cold freshwater ecosystem. Known members of this group include Mesotaenium berggrenii and Ancylonema nordensski ldii .

It was used to add flavor to an otherwise particularly bland diet of kalo taro , uala sweet potato , and ulu breadfruit . Limu, together with sea salt and mashed kukui nuts were the ingredients of inamona , a seasoning mixture much enjoyed by early Hawaiians. Inamona was used to season many dishes. It was the responsibility of women to gather limu in the tidepools while men would gather those kinds of limu that grew in areas of rough surf in the outer reefs . Limu is still enjoyed by Modern Hawaiians but has become increasingly difficult to find because of over picking, pollution , and construction in drainage basin watershed s. Many important kinds of limu grow best in brackish water where fresh water empties into the sea. Another threat to native Limu in Hawaii is the increasing spread of marine alien invasive species. Limu has been used traditionally in Hawaii as a food additive and condiment. Limu extracts are marketed as health supplements, the health benefits being attributed to the compound fucoidan which is found in them.
