摘要
Cyanobacteria are an essential biological component of phytoplankton water quality assessment. However, there are some problems associated with the widely used everyday practices of sampling, estimation and use of cyanobacteria when calculating phytoplankton indices assessing water quality. Many indices were developed during the implementation of the Water Framework Directive, considered the most innovative European environmental legislation. Most indices include cyanobacteria as a composition or bloom metric. Problems with the indices concern the exclusion of most chroococcalean taxa from cyanobacterial biovolume estimations in lakes and reservoirs of the Mediterranean region, treatment of the mucilage of colonial chroococcalean taxa in biovolume estimations and overlooking of deep-water cyanobacterial blooms due to sampling depth. These problems may lead to a biased view of water quality. In this paper we argue in favour of including all cyanobacteria taxa and their mucilage in biovolume estimations and considering a sampling depth that covers deep-water maxima, such as those formed by Planktothrix rubescens or colonial chroococcalean taxa.
