| Study Name | Microcystins and Saxitoxin in Western Washington Lakes |
| EIM Data Entry Review Status | Reviewed |
| Study Type | General environmental study |
| Study Purpose | This study analyzed microcystins and saxitoxin in fish tissue samples from selected Western Washington lakes that experienced blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms during the summer and fall of 2010. Sediments from several of the lakes were also analyzed for microcystins. These blue-green toxins can affect the liver (microcystins) or nervous system (saxitoxin) of animals, including humans. The impetus for this study was their detection in fish collected from six local lakes in 2008. |
