Impact of toxic cyanobacterial blooms on Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis): experimental study and in situ observations in a peri-alpine lake.

Due to the importance of young-of-the-year (YOY) perch in the peri-alpine regions where they are consumed, the microcystin (MC) contamination of YOY perch was analysed both in field (Lake Bourget, France) and experimentally using force-feeding protocols with pure MCs.In-situ, schools Coat of YOY perch present in the epilimnion of the lake were neve
