Eutrophicated waters frequently support bloom-forming cyanobacteria, many of which
produce potent cyanobacterial toxins (cyanotoxins). Cyanotoxins can cause adverse health …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) and their toxins are a significant and continuing threat to
aquatic life in freshwater, estuarine, and coastal water ecosystems. Scientific understanding …

Dolphin stranding events occur frequently in Florida and Massachusetts. Dolphins are an
excellent sentinel species for toxin exposures in the marine environment. In this report we …

Many coastal states throughout the USA have observed negative effects in marine and
estuarine environments caused by cyanotoxins produced in inland waterbodies that were …

In this paper, an LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous identification and quantification of
cyanotoxins with hydrophilic and lipophilic properties in edible bivalves is presented. The …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are on the rise worldwide. Known drivers for the proliferation
and intensification of HAB events include increasing nutrient pollution, climate change …

Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic heptapeptidic toxins produced by many cyanobacteria.
Microcystins can be accumulated in various matrices in two forms: a free cellular fraction and …

As aquatic ecosystems become increasingly affected by hydrologic alterations, drought and
sea level rise a need exists to better understand the biological effects of elevated salinity on …

Cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are increasingly becoming an emerging threat
to aquatic life, ecotourism, and certain real estate investments. Their spontaneous yet …

In the summer of 2018, six dogs exposed to a harmful algal bloom (HAB) of Microcystis in
Martin County Florida (USA) developed clinicopathological signs of microcystin (MC) …
