  abstract =     "The paper compares potentials and achievements of
                 artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms in
                 terms of forecasting and understanding of algal blooms
                 in Lake Kasumigaura (Japan). Despite the complex and
                 nonlinear nature of ecological data, artificial neural
                 networks allow seven-days-ahead predictions of timing
                 and magnitudes of algal blooms with reasonable
                 accuracy. Genetic algorithms possess the capability to
                 evolve, refine and hybridize numerical and linguistic
                 models. Examples presented in the paper show that
                 models explicitly synthesized by genetic algorithms not
                 only perform better in seven-days-ahead predictions of
                 algal blooms than artificial neural network models, but
                 provide more transparency for explanation as well.",
