- 1Predator chemical cues may warn of toxic algal blooms●Ocean predator chemical cues could provide early warnings for toxic algal blooms
New research suggests chemical cues released by ocean predators could serve as early warning signals for toxic algal blooms. The findings point to a low-cost way to detect harmful blooms before they spread, helping protect fisheries, coastal communities and public health. Scientists say the approach could complement existing water monitoring programmes worldwide.
