The Indian marine environment supports employment for over 200 million people, including revenue of nearly $7 billion per annum. However, ecological goods and services of the shallow coast and the marine environment of the Indian peninsula are being affected by recurrent blooms of microalgae. One hundred and six published literature, starting from the first report in 1908 to 2017, were reviewed to investigate the historical occurrences of marine microalgal blooms (MMBs) around the Indian peninsula. 154 MMBs comprising 24 genera and 7 classes were reported during the study period. Noctiluca (dinophyceae) and Trichodesmium (cyanophyceae) bloom contributed 34.4% and 31.8% of total blooms. PCA revealed that high sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity were significant driving forces for Trichodesmium blooms formation, while high nutrients (NO₃-N, PO₄-P, and SiO₄-Si) and low salinity triggered prymnesiophyceae, raphidophyceae, bacillariophyceae and most of the dinophyceae blooms. Noctiluca blooms were linked with both eutrophication and the abundance of prey organisms. HABs were generally dinophyceae dominated and were associated with mass mortality of aquatic fauna, human intoxication, paralytic, and ciguatera shellfish poisoning and even death. Increasing SST and anthropogenic influences around the Indian peninsula could increase the occurrences of MMBs (including HABs) and the number of causative taxa. Proper safety measures such as routine monitoring of phycotoxin levels in the environment and local seafood are required to be put in place in other to protect the health of the public.

印度的海洋环境为2亿多人提供了就业机会，其中包括每年近70亿美元的收入。然而，印度洋半岛浅水海岸和海洋环境的生态产品和服务受到微藻反复开花的影响。从1908年的第一份报告到2017年，回顾了一百零六篇文献，以调查印度半岛周围海洋微藻华（MMB）的历史发生。在研究期间，报告了154个MMB，包括24个属和7个类别。夜光藻（Dinophyceae）和Trichodesmium（蓝藻科）开花占总开花的34.4％和31.8％。PCA表明，高海表温度（SST）和盐分是形成Trichodesmium Blooms的重要驱动力，而高营养素（NO ₃ -N，PO ₄ -P和SiO ₄ -Si）和低盐分会引起褐藻科，水生藻科，杆菌科。大部分的藻科都开花了。夜光藻的繁殖与富营养化和捕食生物的丰富有关。HAB通常以藻科为主导，并与水生动物群的大量死亡，人类中毒，麻痹和美洲豹贝类中毒甚至死亡有关。印度半岛周围海温和人为影响的增加可能会增加MMB（包括HAB）的发生和致病分类单元的数量。必须采取适当的安全措施，例如常规监测环境中的植物毒素水平和当地海鲜，以保护公众健康。
