Difference between Algal bloom and Saxitoxin

Algal bloom vs. Saxitoxin

An algal bloom is a rapid increase or accumulation in the population of algae in freshwater or marine water systems, and is recognized by the discoloration in the water from their pigments. Saxitoxin (STX) is a potent neurotoxin and the best-known paralytic shellfish toxin (PST).
