SUMMARY:Freshwater Science: Health Impacts of Algal Toxins in the Context of Chronic Illness
DESCRIPTION:Algal toxins affect the liver\, gastrointestinal system and kidneys\, and may have a more severe effect in the context of pre-existing conditions. \nDr. David Kennedy and Dr. Steven Haller at The University of Toledo\, with funding from Ohio Sea Grant and the Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative\, are examining these effects to help provide new guidelines for safe exposure levels to algal toxins for people with chronic illnesses. They also aim to develop new tests that can measure toxin exposure at very low levels\, which can suppress common liver injury markers in some patients\, and to create therapies to treat the organ damage caused by algal toxins. \nEvent website: https://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/calendar/2022/03/31/1xijz/freshwater-science\nContact: Christina Dierkes\nEmail: dierkes.10@osu.edu

SUMMARY:Freshwater Science: Using Genetics to Manage Lake Erie Walleye Fisheries
DESCRIPTION:Walleye is an important Lake Erie species\, supporting both commercial and recreational fisheries. Management agencies need ways to identify how local spawning populations contribute to the lake-wide fish population\, so they can continue to keep Lake Erie’s walleye fisheries naturally reproducing and sustainable. \nDr. Stuart Ludsin at The Ohio State University\, with funding from the Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative\, has developed a genetic tool that can differentiate between walleye from the eastern versus western basins of Lake Erie and successfully helped agencies to better understand the contributions of different spawning locations to the eastern basin’s commercial and recreational fisheries. \nEvent website: https://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/calendar/2022/04/27/aijrm/freshwater-science\nContact: Christina Dierkes\nEmail: dierkes.10@osu.edu

SUMMARY:Freshwater Science: Fungal-Like Disease Detection in Aquaculture Operations
DESCRIPTION:Aquaculture is a growing industry in Ohio and the Great Lakes region\, providing farm-raised seafood ranging from crawfish to walleye. And just like land-based farms\, fish farmers spend a lot of time making sure their animals are healthy. \nDr. Vipa Phuntumart and her team at Bowling Green State University have developed a method to detect Saprolegnia\, a fungal-like pathogen that can result in an estimated loss of $40 million to U.S. aquaculture operations every year\, in water samples from fish farms. This way\, the fish can be treated with eco-friendly options before they show symptoms. \nEvent website: https://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/calendar/2022/05/19/r9ita/freshwater-science\nContact: Christina Dierkes\nEmail: dierkes.10@osu.edu
