Microcystin Contamination in Sea Mussel Farms from the Italian Southern Adriatic Coast following Cyanobacterial Blooms in an Artificial Reservoir

Figure 5

2009-2010 monthly mean microcystin content detected in mussels from 13 farms near the Fortore estuary. The highest levels of toxin detection correspond to the 2009 extended bloom in Lake Occhito; the 2010 less extended bloom caused a lower contamination in mussels.
