The 30 pages that link to Harmful algal bloom, each with the reason it gives.

• Marine heatwaveRelated: Warm conditions can favor some bloom-forming species and extend their growing seasons.

• Coastal upwellingRelated: Upwelling can supply nutrients, while bloom outcomes depend on which species respond.

• Hypoxia (environmental)Related: Bloom composition and decay rates influence how much oxygen depletion follows nutrient enrichment.

• LakeRelated: Blooms can threaten lake wildlife, water supplies, and recreation.

• DinoflagellateRelated: Some dinoflagellate blooms release toxins or deplete oxygen, harming wildlife and people.

• BivalveRelated: Filter-feeding bivalves can accumulate algal toxins and transmit them through food.

• Marine mammal strandingRelated: Some blooms produce toxins that can impair marine mammals and contribute to strandings.

• MixotrophyRelated: Mixotrophic bloom-formers can combine photosynthesis with prey capture.

• ShellfishRelated: Filter-feeding shellfish can accumulate algal toxins without appearing visibly contaminated.

• Marine microbiologyRelated: Microbial identification and monitoring help detect bloom-forming organisms and their toxins.

• Shellfish aquacultureRelated: Toxin-producing blooms can contaminate shellfish and force harvest closures.

• Sea lionRelated: Toxins from some blooms can pass through prey and cause neurological illness in sea lions.

• Golden algaeRelated: Some golden algae, especially Prymnesium, form blooms that release toxins harmful to fish.

• Pamlico SoundRelated: Some blooms in the sound can disrupt fisheries and create health risks.
