The monitors found by Machiguenga communities Segakiato came after complaints from people saying that the fish had a bad taste.
According to Aidesep, some cyanobacteria produce toxins and can poison animals that inhabit the same environment or drinking water, because it is a great variety of genera and species, some produce toxins very specific and others more or less spectrum comprehensive toxic.
The genera most commonly implicated in blooms are Microcystis, Anabaena and Aphanizomenon. The physiological mechanisms of poisoning are varied, with poisons both cytotoxic (cell attackers) and hepatotoxic (liver attackers) or neurotoxic (attacking the nervous system).
