Harmful algal blooms; HABs; Red tides; Eutrophication; Nutrients; Nitrogen; PhosphorusAbstract
Coastal waters of the United States (U.S.) are subject to many of the major harmful algal
bloom (HAB) poisoning syndromes and impacts. These include paralytic shellfish poisoning
(PSP), neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP), amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP), ciguatera
fish poisoning (CFP) and various other HAB phenomena such as fish kills, loss of submerged
vegetation, shellfish mortalities, and widespread marine mammal mortalities. Here, the
occurrences of selected HABs in a selected set of regions are described in terms of their
relationship to eutrophication, illustrating a range of responses. Evidence suggestive of
changes in the frequency, extent or magnitude of HABs in these areas is explored in the
context of the nutrient sources underlying those blooms, both natural and anthropogenic. In
some regions of the U.S., the linkages between HABs and eutrophication are clear and well
documented, whereas in others, information is limited, thereby highlighting important areas
for further research.

Impacts of developmental exposures to the harmful algal bloom toxin domoic acid on neural development and behavior
Panlilio, Jennifer M. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2019-06)Harmful algal blooms (HABs) can produce potent neurotoxins that accumulate in seafood and affect human health. One HAB toxin of concern is domoic acid (DomA), a glutamate analog produced by the marine diatom Pseudo-nitzschia ... -
