                    [Title] => Another alga causing red tide in Taal Lake
                    [Summary] => LOS BAÑOS, Laguna — Another alga that triggers a "red tide" phenomenon has been found in Taal Lake.


The massive growth or "algal bloom" that occurred recently in the lake was found to have been due to a dinoflagellate (microorganism) known as Ceratium.

"Dinoflagellate blooms are what we call red tide," said Dr. Macrina Tamayo-Zafaralla, project leader of a research tie-up between the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) and National Institute of Environmental Science-Japan that is monitoring Taal Lake.
