Scope of the Journal This new journal will provide a forum to promote knowledge of harmful micro- and macroalgae, including cyanobacteria, as well as monitoring, management and control of these organisms. Both original research and review papers will be considered. Papers dealing with the following aspects of harmful microalgae and cyanobacteria in marine and fresh waters will be considered: • the distribution, life histories and taxonomy of harmful microalgae; • the physlology and toxicology of harmful microalgae; • harmful microalgal bloom ecology; • trophic, socio-economic, public health and aquacultural impacts of harmful microalgal bloom events; • occurence, methods of detection and chemical structure of toxins in harmful microalgae, cyanobacteria, foodwebs and seafood; • factors controlling toxin production, biosynthesis and chemical ecology. Note: Papers dealing with pharmacology fall outside of the scope of the journal. Publication Information: Harmful Algae (ISSN 1568-9883).
