It is concluded that Planktothrix, Aphanizomenon, Microcystis and Dolichospermum were dominant in the presence of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in fresh water bodies located in 5 provinces in Poland and the general pattern in geographical distribution was typical of other eutrophic waters in Europe.

This is the first report on ANTX accumulation in the common fish, indigenous to European freshwaters during perennial cyanobacterial blooms, and suggests the probability of its transfer in a food chain.

Winter versus summer blooming of phytoplankton in a shallow lake: effect of hypertrophic conditions

The obtained results revealed that in the hypertrophic lake the very high nutrient concentrations (especially NH4-N and PO4-P), found both in winter and summer, were responsible for year-long mass development of phytoplankton.

Direct and indirect effects of temperature were the main drivers of the spatial distribution in the toxins produced by the cyanobacterial community, the toxin concentrations and toxin quota, and a Toxin Diversity Index (TDI) increased with latitude, while it decreased with water stability.
Four-Year Study on Phytoplankton Biodiversity in a Small Hypertrophic Lake Affected by Water Blooms of Toxigenic Cyanobacteria

In a shallow hypertrophic lake, species richness of phytoplankton was very high (174-223 taxa, yearly) but values of Shannon-Weaver index were very low (0.04-1.38). Perennial blooms (2.1×10-11.6×10…

Abstract Epiphytic algae occurring on submerged macrophytes were investigated as part of a study on the ecological status of a shallow macrophyte-dominated lake, Lake Skomielno, which has been used…
Accumulation and effects of cyanobacterial microcystins and anatoxin-a on benthic larvae of Chironomus spp. (Diptera: Chironomidae)

The survival of both the lake and riverine Chironomus larvae did not decrease when exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of cyanotoxins, and the larvae were also highly resistant to higher amounts of extracellular toxins.

It strongly suggests that non-ribosomal oligopeptides, other than MCs, had essential contribution to the observed toxicity to invertebrates and their effects on particular species or populations can vary depending on the secondary metabolite profiles of cyanobacteria.
