Abstract Degraded water quality from nutrient pollution, physical, biological, and other chemical factors contributes
to the development and persistence of many harmful algal blooms (HABs). The complex dynamics of the HABs is
a challenge to marine ecosystems for the toxic effects reported. The consequences include fish, bird, and mammal
mortality, respiratory or digestive tract problems, memory loss, seizures, lesions and skin irritation in many organisms.
This review is intended to briefly summarize the recent reported information on harmful marine toxin deleterious
effects over the primary organisms of the food web, namely algae, zooplankton and invertebrates. Special focus is made
on oxidative… More >
