Water authorities spend significant resources to monitor and control algal blooms. A significant part of this is monitoring freshwater toxic algal blooms that can impact on drinking water and recreational uses. One of the difficulties in monitoring blooms is that the toxin content of individual species can vary considerably. It is unclear whether this is caused by changes in environmental conditions, i.e. nutrient, light, temperature. This project would provide the link between environmental conditions and toxin production to improve the ability to predict and monitor toxin production.

水务部门花费大量资源来监测和控制藻华。其中很大一部分是监测可能影响饮用水和娱乐用途的淡水有毒藻华。监测水华的困难之一是，个别物种的毒素含量可能差异很大。目前还不清楚这是否是由环境条件的变化引起的，即营养、光照、温度。 该项目将提供环境条件与毒素生产之间的联系，以提高预测和监测毒素生产的能力。
