Abstract How likely is a given cyanobacterial bloom to be toxic? This question was addressed in a number of countries already in the 1980s, even before the structures of many cyanotoxins were known. Thus, early surveys were conducted using the mouse bioassay, and results generally showed toxicity in more than half of the cyanobacterial samples tested (e.g. Leeuwangh et al. (1983) in The Netherlands, Törökné-Kozma and Gabor (1988) in Hungary, and the NRA Report (1990) in England). In the wake of the development of chemical methods of cyanotoxin identification and quantification, these have been employed in a number of countries for more extensive surveys of cyanotoxin occurrence in relation to dominant cyanobacterial taxa. In some cases they were combined with bioassays for toxicity. Further, limnological aspects are increasingly being included in study designs and data interpretation.
