Assessment of a novel microalgae-cork based technology for removing antibiotics, pesticides and nitrates from groundwater
(Elsevier, 2022-04-29)
Groundwater pollution has increased in recent years due to the intensification of agricultural and livestock activities. This results in a significant reduction in available freshwater resources. Here, ...
The Temporal Distribution of Cyclic Imines in Shellfish in the Bays of Fangar and Alfacs, Northwestern Mediterranean Region
(MDPI, 2023-12-23)
Spirolides (SPXs), gymnodimines (GYMs), and pinnatoxins (PnTXs) have been detected in shellfish from the northwestern Mediterranean coast of Spain. Several samples of bivalves were collected from Fangar ...
Rapid screening and multi-toxin profile confirmation of tetrodotoxins and analogues in human body fluids derived from a puffer fish poisoning incident in New Caledonia
(Elsevier, 2017-12-30)
In August 2014, a puffer fish poisoning incidence resulting in one fatality was reported in New Caledonia. Although tetrodotoxin (TTX) intoxication was established from the patients' signs and symptoms, ...
Age and growth of the endangered fan mussel Pinna nobilis in the western Mediterranean Sea
(Elsevier, 2019-09-28)
The present work, which is the first comparative study of the growth of the fan mussel Pinna nobilis in the western Mediterranean, encompasses 12 populations of this species living in different environments ...
Presence of Vibrio mediterranei associated to major mortality in stabled individuals of Pinna nobilis L.
(Elsevier, 2019-12-20)
A major epizootic event attributed to Haplosporidium pinnae leading to 100% mortality of Pinna nobilis L. populations along Mediterranean coastlines started in the fall of 2016. As a result, a project ...
The potential of High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) of natural samples as a source of primary taxonomic information for reference libraries of diatom barcodes
(Czech Phycological Society, 2018-02-27)
Diatoms are used routinely to assess pollution level in rivers and lakes. Current methods are based on identification by light microscopy, which is laborious. An alternative is to identify species based ...
Occurrence of cyclic imines in European commercial seafood and consumers risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)
Cyclic imines constitute a quite recently discovered group of marine biotoxins that act on neural receptors and that bioaccumulate in seafood. They are grouped together due to the imino group functioning ...

(Wiley, 2020-04-07)
Detailed morphological documentation is provided for established Proschkinia taxa, including the generitype, P. bulnheimii, and P. complanata, P. complanatula, P. complanatoides and P. hyalosirella, and ...
The influence of flow regime on ecological quality, bird diversity, and shellfish fisheries in a Lowland Mediterranean River and its coastal area
(MDPI, 2019-05-01)
Designing environmental flows in lowland river sections and estuaries is a challenge for researchers and managers, given their complexity and their importance, both for nature conservation and economy. ...
Stable isotope analyses reveal major nutritional deficiencies in captive vs. field juvenile individuals of Pinna nobilis
(Elsevier, 2021-03-16)
The pen shell, Pinna nobilis L. is critically endangered by the spread of a haplosporidan parasite. Stable isotopes have been shown an association with dietary assimilation, trophic level, and body ...
