Bibliography on Algicides

摘要

In recent years, much attention has been paid to control the undesirable growth of algae by algicides in recreational lakes, water supply reservoirs, ornamental ponds and tanks, fish ponds, swimming pools and water cooling towers. The control of algae in such water bodies is of great economic importance, especially when the conditions of domestic drinking water and the safety of livestock are at stake. The massive growth of algae also impairs the beauty of ornamental ponds, reduces their aesthetic appeal, results in fish mortality and disturbs the aquatic ecosystems. The literature dealing with algicides is widely scattered and it is difficult to locate it. An attempt has been made to consolidate all the available literature in the form of this bibliography, which contains 247 citations. The references cited are from temperate as well as from tropical regions. At the end, a list of selected readings and an author index is also given.
