Observations in the present study are also
consistent with more recent, groundbreaking findings from who provided a novel report of a new class of
toxins, fatty acid amides, produced by P. parvum and demonstrated that increasing pH increased toxicity of
two of these fatty acid amides, oleamide and linoleamide, to rainbow trout gill cells. Clearly, additional
toxicological research is warranted on impacts of fatty acid amides
associated with P. parvum blooms in inland waters.
