Prezados Colegas

Gostaria de saber a melhor tradução para RANHO DE MARINHEIRO no seguinte contexto:

"Numa indústria de processamento de grãos vegetais, há visível aporte para a respectiva valeta de efluentes contendo resíduos de matéria orgânica vegetal rica em nitrogênio. Por isso, o nível de contaminação apresentou-se menor (Tabela 4), pois o teste químico feito neste estudo é mais específico para fósforo. A soma de aportes de fósforo e de nitrogênio é a causa dos altos desequilíbrios tráficos (hipertrofia) com florações oportunistas de cianobactéria Aphanothece sp. (conhecida na região como RANHO DE MARINHEIRO) registrado no Saco da Mangueira."

Desde já agradeço-lhes a valiosíssima ajuda!!

Abraço cordial.

leave PT term and explain (literally sailor's nasal discharge)
Explanation:
This is how I would handle the situation:

Since this is a colloquial term and you already have the scientific name there, just leave it in PT, but you do have to explain what it means, even though the literal translation is strange :)
