Resumen:
Degraded water quality from nutrient pollution, physical, biological, and other chemical factors contributesto the development and persistence of many harmful algal blooms (Habs). the complex dynamics of the Habs isa challenge to marine ecosystems for the toxic effects reported. the consequences include fish, bird, and mammalmortality, respiratory or digestive tract problems, memory loss, seizures, lesions and skin irritation in many organisms.Tis review is intended to briefly summarize the recent reported information on harmful marine toxin deleteriouseffects over the primary organisms of the food web, namely algae, zooplankton and invertebrates. Special focus is madeon oxidative stress status of cells and tissues. even though in situ feld research is less controlled than laboratory studies,in which the organisms are directly exposed to the toxins under consideration, both types of approaches are required tofully understand such a complex scenario. on top of that, the contribution of the increasing water temperatures in thesea, as a consequence of the global climate change, will be addressed as a topic for further studies, to evaluate the effecton regulating algal growth, species composition, trophic structure, metabolic stress and function of aquatic ecosystems.
