• Ecological functions of volatile organic compounds in aquatic systems (2007, background): “This is in remarkable contrast to aquatic VOCs, which show a much higher structural diversity (e.g., Jüttner 1987; Pohnert and Boland 2002; Watson 2003).”
• Harmful Algal Blooms (2015, methodology): “…evidence now indicates that some of these compounds may act as grazer deterrents, toxins, and pheromones; facilitate adaptation to environmental extremes or are multifunctional; and act at trace levels as feeding deterrents and at higher levels, as toxins (Jüttner, 2001, 2005; Watson, 2003, 2013).”
• A review of cyanobacterial odorous and bioactive metabolites: Impacts and management alternatives in aquaculture (2008, background): “A recent review of off-flavor producing algae and cyanobacteria (Watson, 2003) provides a thorough listing of known off-flavor producing algal species — this list is updated herein (Table 4).”
• GROWTH INHIBITION AND TOXICITY OF THE DIATOM ALDEHYDE 2‐TRANS, 4‐TRANS‐DECADIENAL ON THALASSIOSIRA WEISSFLOGII (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE) 1 (2005, background): “In this case, reactive aldehydes may not only serve to deter grazers but may also function as intra- or interspecific signals, for example, to modulate population density or to signal presence of pathogens or predators (Watson 2003).”
• Still challenging: the ecological function of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin – What we know so far (2018, background): “Colony formation, lower long-chain saturated fatty acids production, and increased toxicity have been reported in Microcystis cultures exposed to grazers (Jang et al., 2003; Müller-Navarra et al., 2000; Watson, 2003; Yang & Kong, 2012; Yang et al., 2006).”
• Analysing the growth of turbot (Psetta maxima) in a commercial recirculation system with the use of three different growth models (2011, background): “The organic matter serves as media for microorganisms, which produce metabolites that can cause undesirable tastes and odours or can be biochemically active (Vining 1992; Watson 2003).”
