This journal provides a forum to promote knowledge of harmful microalgae 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 physiology and toxicology of harmful microalgae;? Harmful microalgal bloom ecology;? Trophic, socio-economic, public health and aquacultural impacts of harmful microalgal bloom events;? Occurrence, 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.All papers will be subject to peer review. Authors will receive proofs. The editors, referees, and publisher will make every effort to expedite publication, the co-operation of authors in this task is welcomed.

該雜志提供了一個(gè)論壇，以促進(jìn)知識(shí)的有害微藻和大藻類(lèi)，包括藍(lán)藻，以及監(jiān)測(cè)，管理和控制這些生物體。原始研究和評(píng)論論文都將被考慮。有關(guān)海洋和淡水中有害微藻和藍(lán)藻菌的論文將予以審議:?有害微藻的分布、生活史和分類(lèi);?有害微藻的生理學(xué)和毒理學(xué);?有害微藻華生態(tài);?有害微藻爆發(fā)事件對(duì)營(yíng)養(yǎng)、社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)、公共衛(wèi)生和水產(chǎn)養(yǎng)殖的影響;?有害微藻、藍(lán)藻、食網(wǎng)、海產(chǎn)品中毒素的發(fā)生、檢測(cè)方法及化學(xué)結(jié)構(gòu);?控制毒素生產(chǎn)、生物合成和化學(xué)生態(tài)學(xué)的因素。注:有關(guān)藥理學(xué)的論文不在本雜志的討論范圍之內(nèi)。所有論文都將接受同行評(píng)審。作者將收到證明。編輯、審稿人、出版人將盡一切努力加快出版進(jìn)度，歡迎作者在這方面的合作。
