This Aquatic Pathobiology website features an overview of harmful algal blooms. Specific focus is given to blooms of microscopic algae occurring in the coastal waters of the United States that produce toxins and impair fish and shellfish production, either directly or indirectly, via degradation of habitats. Links are provided to detailed pages about each of the following: neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP), paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), "Brown tide" blooms (BTB), amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP), and blooms which do not cause illness to humans but are harmful to fish.
