Harmful Algae (HA)

Harmful Algae is a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to advancing knowledge on harmful microalgae and macroalgae, including cyanobacteria, and the ecological, toxicological, and socio-economic impacts they have on marine and freshwater environments. It provides a global forum for original research articles, reviews, and scholarly discussions on harmful algal blooms (HABs), covering their distribution, taxonomy, ecology, physiology, toxicology, monitoring, management, and control. The journal focuses on both fundamental biological mechanisms and applied aspects, such as interactions with food webs, public-health implications, shellfish contamination, and impacts on aquaculture and fisheries. Contributions also explore the drivers of bloom events, including nutrient dynamics, climate change, and environmental stressors, and discuss methods for detection and modelling of toxic algae. As a central outlet for researchers in marine biology, freshwater biology, environmental science, and aquatic ecology, Harmful Algae plays a key role in disseminating high-quality scientific findings necessary for understanding and mitigating the consequences of HABs on ecosystems and human societies. Its multi-disciplinary emphasis attracts contributions from ecologists, biologists, toxicologists, and environmental managers worldwide.
