“…Anatoxin-a (ANTX-a) and/or homoanatoxin-a (hANTX-a) have been detected in lakes and rivers in the UK, Ireland, France, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Portugal, and Poland (Edwards et al, 1992;Furey et al, 2003;Gugger et al, 2005;Messineo et al, 2009;Osswald et al, 2009;Ballot et al, 2010;Faassen et al, 2012b;Kobos et al, 2013). These toxins are associated with several cyanobacteria including, among others, species of Anabaena, Dolichospermum and Aphanizomenon (for an updated list see Bernard et al, 2017).…”

This review aims to summarise the outcomes of some recent European research concerning toxic cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins, with an emphasis on developments within the framework of the CYANOCOST Action: COST Action ES1105, Cyanobacterial Blooms and Toxins in Water Resources: Occurrence, Impacts and Management. Highlights of the Action include phycological and ecological studies, development of advanced techniques for cyanotoxin analysis, elucidation of cyanotoxin modes of action, management techniques to reduce cyanobacterial mass development, and research on methods and practices for cyanotoxin removal during drinking water treatment. The authors have identified a number of gaps in knowledge. Proposed directions for future research on toxic cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins are also discussed.

“…Recently reported animal intoxications involving cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxins have included dogs in the Netherlands, with hANTX-a (Faassen et al, 2012b) and MC-LR (Lürling and Faassen, 2013) as likely proximal causes. Fish-kills associated with cyanobacterial blooms have continued throughout CYANOCOST, e.g.…”

“…For recreational use, toxins and particularly cyanobacterial scums pose risks of illness and mortality. Cases of illness and mortality of cattle and pets have been reported worldwide (Chorus and Bartram 1999;Codd et al 2005;Paerl and Huisman 2008;Faassen et al 2012;Lürling and Faassen 2013). Incidents with human exposure to cyanobacteria in recreational/bathing waters and subsequent serious health problems have rarely been reported.…”

Water managers worldwide are facing the serious problem of dense blooms of cyanobacteria in surface waters. In the quest for the optimal method to combat cyanobacterial dominance, many questions and many possible solutions arise. This paper presents a three-phase strategy to fight harmful cyanobacterial proliferation. Water managers who apply this strategy can generate a tailor-made set of measures. The three phases consist of (1) defining the ecological water quality targets of the waterbody in question, (2) assessing its current ecological state, and (3) selecting which measures will yield optimal results. The paper provides assistance in the quantitative diagnosis of the state of both shallow and deep temperate freshwater lakes by means of a lake system analysis, and presents a survey of measures. Measures are divided into two sets. Preventive measures are based on switching to a clear state (shallow lake) or reducing the overall cyanobacterial biomass (deep lake). They are subdivided into nutrient reduction, hydromorphological adjustments, and food web management. Concerning nutrient reduction, in many situations phosphorus management alone should suffice. Nitrogen management can be important to increase the species diversity of macrophytes, or to relieve downstream (marine) consequences. Control measures (including mitigation) have a direct impact on cyanobacterial blooms by biomass removal, flushing, or mixing; however, the number of proven technologies is limited.

“…Torres et al [152], reported that biochemical biomarkers in algae show effects of marine pollutants in terms of cellular damage and potential biochemical mechanisms that algae use. Algae may damage filters, cause clogging problems, and disorders in coagulation sedimentation, resulting in a stench and visual effects [153,154]. Algae breeding caused by long-term high temperature exposure occurs due to desalination projects and microcystins are not removed, but ozone and other strong oxidizing agents can be removed.…”
