Rodeo-Chedeski Fire
• The largest wildfire in Arizona recorded history began on June 18th, 2002.
• Burned almost 500,000 acres in the White Mountains to the north and east of Phoenix.
• Several major drainages to the Salt River were within the burn area.

History of Algal Toxins in Salt River Reservoirs
• August 2000 – Large die-off of Corbicula fluminea in the riverine zone of Saguaro reservoir.
• Found over 140 μg/L of anatoxin-a in aqueous samples.

Fish Kills
• First major fish kill occurred in Apache in March of 2004.
• Subsequent fish kills occurred in Canyon, Saguaro, and again in Apache throughout the spring and early summer.
• Multiple species involved.

• A major fish kill occurred in the riverine portion of Saguaro on 6/10/04.
• Smaller fish (e.g., threadfin shad) were noticed dead or moribund in Canyon on 6/9/04.

• Subsequent fish kills, usually beginning in riverine sections, in winter/spring of 2004, 2005, 2006, and decreasing in 2007.
• No early indicators of fish kill activity this year.
• Salinity decreased in reservoirs due to adequate winter precipitation and snowmelt.

From Sasaki et al. 2006.
• Causes mass hemolysis of red blood cells.
• Structurally similar to brevotoxin.
• Mass in excess of 1400 AMUs.
• Structure would appear to make cell entry difficult.
•

• Fish toxicosis difficult to explain.
• No studies showing any significant correlation between concentrations of prymnesin in the water to fish toxicosis.
• Likely a toxic fraction.

Fractionation and Quantification of Prymnesin Toxins
• JoAnn Burkholder (NCSU), Paul Zimba (USDA-ARS)– Grow unialgal cultures in bulk– Concentrate cell biomass and dissolved
organics.– Send cell pellets and SPE material for toxin
extraction/assessment.

• Peter Moeller (NOAA)– Biochemical fractionation, toxin class
identification, development of toxin bioassay(s).
– Identification of toxin/development of method for toxin assessment

Potential Factors for Algal Toxin Production in Reservoirs
• Changing nutrient ratios due to watershed disturbance.

Drought/Climate Change
![Page 30: Algal Toxin Production in Arid-Land Reservoirs David Walker University of Arizona NSF/UA Water Quality Cen ter.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d795503460f94a5c9f1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Summary
• Different types of toxins can be produced by reservoirs due to changing environmental conditions.
• Toxin production and presence of species capable of producing toxins are poorly correlated.
• Toxin production of any given species also depends on as-of-yet ill-defined environmental triggers.
• In connected systems, differing nutrient ratios between upstream-downstream reservoirs may trigger toxin production.
• Massive watershed disturbance can result in favoring certain toxin-producing species over others.
