The world's largest macroalgal blooms caused by Ulva prolifera have occurred in the Yellow Sea for 11 consecutive years.

In this study, we concluded that species competition between Ulva and Sargassum (fast rise of the golden tides), extreme high sea surface temperature and harvest for floating Ulva macroalgae were the three critical factors influencing ...[more]
