The red tides impact the East Fifa 14 Ultimate Team Coins China Sea, but in the north theYellow Sea has been hit by green tides. In 2008 these green tides,made up of green macroalgae, became a huge economic burden whenpiles of the plankton washedup on shores around the time of the country's Olympic sailingcompetition. In total, one million tons were removed, resulting ina direct economic loss of 1.3 billion Chinese yuan (£130 million),according to the survey report. Finally, earlier this year it wassuggested that the shellfish-killing brown tide-- caused byanother type of algae -- that had hit China could bring thedestruction of fisheries in east China. It was the third time abrown tide had ever occurred, and was the largest the world hadever seen. The tide began in 2009, and the country immediately sawa decline in its scallop, oyster and mussel farming. By July 2010,it had spread across 3,350 sq km.
China is already seeing the results of all this off-shorecarnage, with krill about to become extinct in the East China Sea and fish thatrely on the krill for food beginning to dwindle innumbers.
Speaking to Nature, marine biologist Kunshan and the director of theChinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Oceanology, Sun Song,have both responded to the news of the survey with a heavy dose ofskepticism. Though the survey indicates a massive decline, theysaid, it does not go far enough into the effects of the decline toproffer any real solutions or indications of what will happen inthe future. Without real investigation, directing policy will bedifficult, said Song.
