Mathematical Modelling of Harmful Algal Blooms on West Coast of Sabah

Algal bloom is a condition in which there is a massive growth of algae in a certain region and it is said to be harmful when the bloom causes damage effects. Due to the tremendous impact of harmful algal bloom (HAB) on some aspects, this research proposes the mathematical modelling of an HAB model to describe the process of HAB together with population dynamics. This research considers the delay terms in the modelling since the liberation of toxic chemicals by toxin-producing phytoplankton (TPP) is not an instantaneous process in which the species need to achieve their maturity. A model of fis... Mehr ...
