“…This might require us to reset our current working hypotheses or even generate new ones [22]. Future research should include more frequent samplings with standardized protocols [23], following the best established approaches from field to laboratory analysis to data processing and analysis [24], and not only those dictated by managerial directives [25]. Finally, the interconnectivity between experimental and field experiments which combine classic approaches, such as microscopy analysis, with more modern methodologies such as -omics for acquiring more conclusive insights on the biology, ecology, and mitigation of Cyanobacteria and their freshwater blooms seems to be the most inclusive approach for the time being.…”

Cyanobacterial blooms have become a frequent phenomenon in freshwaters worldwide; they are a widely known indicator of eutrophication and water quality deterioration. Information and knowledge contributing towards the evaluation of the ecological status of freshwaters, particularly since many are used for recreation, drinking water, and aquaculture, is valuable. This Special Issue, entitled “Advancing Knowledge on Cyanobacterial Blooms in Freshwaters”, includes 11 research papers that will focus on the use of complementary approaches, from the most recently developed molecular-based methods to more classical approaches and experimental and mathematical modelling regarding the factors (abiotic and/or biotic) that control the diversity of not only the key bloom-forming cyanobacterial species, but also their interactions with other biota, either in freshwater systems or their adjacent habitats, and their role in preventing and/or promoting cyanobacterial growth and toxin production.
