The deadline for submission of asbtracts has been extended until 30th June, 2016.

The asbtracts can be submited on the following topics:

• Freshwater and marine HAB biogeography: Regional issues, population dynamics, biosecurity and alien species.
• HAB prediction: modeling, observing systems, data collection and processing.
• Cyanobacteria: Harmful blooms in tropical, temperate and high latitude environments.
• Ciguatera and Benthic HABs: Harmful and nuisance algae in tropical, temperate and high latitude benthic environments.
• HA biology: culturing, Physiology and life cycles (cysts).
• HA Ecology: food chains, allelopathy, trophic strategies, parasitism/symbiosis, bacteria and viruses.
• Algal toxins: Chemistry/biochemistry, metabolism and analytical methods.
• Toxicology: mechanism of toxicity, international regulation and mitigation of algal toxins in food and water, clinical application for phycotoxins.
• Taxonomy, systematics and genomics: Morphological and molecular taxonomy, functional genomics and genetic diversity.
• HAB Technologies: From biosensors and techniques for cell and toxin detection and quantification to modeling and prediction.
• Wellness of coastal communities: Social and economic aspects, HABs and coastal activities sustainability.
• Surveillance and management: Monitoring, management, mitigation of HABs and food security.
• HABs in a Changing World: Climate change, land use and ocean acidification and HABs.
