Impact DescriptionThere are multiple reports of toxic Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii blooms occurring in aquaculture ponds in Australia and other tropical regions. This often results in bioaccumulation of cylindrospermopsin within the organisms intended for harvest and the economic loss of infected organisms. Such blooms also create a risk of the toxin getting into the human food market if not detected soon enough.
