Marine harmful algal blooms and phycotoxins of concern to Canada / Stephen S. Bates, Daniel G. Beach, Luc A. Comeau, Nicola Haigh, Nancy I. Lewis, Andrea Locke, Jennifer L. Martin, Pearse McCarron, Cynthia...: Fs97-6/3384E-PDF
"In Canada, reports of marine harmful algal blooms (HABs) have increased over the past few decades. HABs are caused by the growth of certain phytoplankton that produce phycotoxins or otherwise cause harm. Phycotoxins are problematic to human health, and their cumulative effects are stressors to marine ecosystems by causing the mortality of marine fish, birds and mammals, including species designated at risk. Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (caused by saxitoxin group toxins produced by Alexandrium spp.) has been problematic for years on both the east and west Canadian coasts"--Abstract, page ix.
