Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HAB) are an ancient and natural phenomena that generally reflects the monospecific, and on rare occasions, the multispecific outgrowth of microalgae in marine coastal areas, estuaries, open waters and freshwater environments. The bloom of several species of HAB are triggered by a complex variety of environmental factors and cause mild to severe impacts on aquatic organisms and human health.
