This research demonstrates the neurotoxic impact of cyanobacteria in zebrafish, highlighting oxidative stress and gene dysregulation.

Exposure to lysates from the cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon gracile disrupts zebrafish embryo hatching and induces malformations.
Key findings include severe oxidative stress and inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity in zebrafish due to cyanobacterial exposure.
The study assessed neurobehavioral impacts of anatoxin-a-producing cyanobacteria on zebrafish, revealing concerning ecological implications.
Findings emphasize the need for further risk assessments on the ecological impacts of harmful cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater ecosystems.

Liu et al. (2025) studied this question.
