Coastal California regularly experiences blooms of Synechococcus cyanobacteria. We found that black perch exposed to one strain (CC9311), but not another (CC9902), spent more time in the dark area of a tank, and moved less. Our results demonstrate that blooms of specific strains of marine cyanobacteria can differentially affect fish.
