List of marine and estuarine harmful algal bloom records in Indian waters from 1849-2022

This dataset includes a list of all harmful algal bloom (HAB) reports in Indian waters from 1849 through October 2022. The authors have curated and prepared this document by scouring through historical records, which to the best of our knowledge, represents the most complete compilation to date. Important Notes: These records do not include freshwater HAB reports (e.g., from lakes, reservoirs or temple ponds), but only document marine and estuarine HABs. The authors have only compiled these reports from various peer-reviewed (or other) publications available from prior literature; they make no claim on the authenticity of these reports. Note that these records span nearly 175 years of documented observations; species names might have changed. Where possible, the authors have also provided current names of species referred to with older nomenclature in their original publications.本数据集收录了1849年至2022年10月期间印度海域内所有有害藻华（Harmful Algal Bloom, HAB）的报告记录。研究团队通过梳理历史档案完成了本数据集的整理与编制工作，据我们所知，这是目前为止最完整的相关汇编成果。 重要说明： 1. 本记录不包含淡水有害藻华报告（例如来自湖泊、水库或神庙池塘的藻华），仅涵盖海洋与河口的有害藻华相关内容。 2. 本数据集仅从同行评议或其他公开发表的文献中汇编所得，不对所收录报告的真实性作出任何声明。 3. 本记录涵盖了近175年的观测记载，期间物种命名或已发生变更。若可行，研究团队已将原始文献中使用旧命名的物种替换为当前通用学名。
