Using an Ultraviolet-Enabled Boat to Reduce Microcystin and Suppress Cyanobacterial Growth in Harmful Algal Bloom-Impacted Surface Waters by Taylor Rycroft, Brianna Fernando, Michael L. Mayo

“…Non-cyanobacteria were too scarce in this CyanoHAB to conclude whether the CyanoSTUN UV-C inhibits harmful phytoplankton species more readily than beneficial species. Further field studies with the CyanoSTUN^TM are required to validate performance under more severe cyanoHAB conditions, however the results reported herein from the first field trial with the CyanoSTUN^TM suggest that this treatment method may offer water managers confronted with a CyanoHAB the ability to rapidly and safely pause a bloom for multiple days and reduce the risks posed by its associated cyanotoxins without adding chemicals.…”
