A process for the reduction of undesirable levels of algal growth in salt water bodies in which an effective amount of treatment water is added at the surface of the salt water body. The treatment water has a salinity and density either greater or less than that of the water at the surface of the salt water body. As a result, algae which have become accustomed to the existing conditions of salinity and density undergo rupture of cells and settle to the bottom of the salt water body, if the water density has been decreased, or suffer lower reproduction rates, and eventually flocculate and settle to the bottom of the salt water body, if the water density has been increased.

Method for suppressing algal growth in solar ponds

An improved method for promoting algae growth in a sewage medium is disclosed. A high density algae culture can be obtained in a sewage water treatment process by placing algae in pure water separated by a dialysis membrane from sewage water wherein osmotic interaction occurs across the membrane. In a preferred embodiment algae is placed in pure water in dialysis tubing and the tubing is suspended in the presence of light in sewage water for osmotic interaction therewith.
