Automated Patch Clamp for the Detection of Tetrodotoxin in Pufferfish Samples
(MDPI, 2024-04-15)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a marine toxin responsible for many intoxications around the world. Its presence in some pufferfish species and, as recently reported, in shellfish, poses a serious health concern. ...
First Evidence of the Presence of Anatoxin-A in Sea Figs Associated with Human Food Poisonings in France
(MDPI, 2020-05-29)
From January 2011 to March 2018, 26 patients aged from 20 to 80 years old reported being sick in France after eating sea figs of the genus Microcosmus. The patients had symptoms evoking a cerebellar ...
Evaluation of the occurrence and fate of pesticides in a typical Mediterranean delta ecosystem (EBRO RIVER delta) and risk assessment for aquatic organisms
(Elsevier, 2020-10-14)
Delta ecosystems are areas of high ecologic and economic values, where wildlife commonly shares the territory with intensive agricultural activities, particularly, rice cultivation and seafood production. ...
A fast magnetic bead-based colorimetric immunoassay for the detection of tetrodotoxins in shellfish
(Elsevier, 2020-04-05)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin responsible for many food poisoning incidents and some fatalities. Although mainly associated with the consumption of pufferfish, in recent years, TTX has been ...
A polyphasic approach to the study of the genus Nitzschia (Bacillariophyta): three new planktonic species from the Adriatic Sea
(Wiley, 2020-10-21)
The paraphyletic diatom genus Nitzschia comprises over 1000 morphologically distinct pennate taxa, known from the benthos and plankton of freshwater, brackish and marine environments. The principal ...
An Updated Review of Tetrodotoxin and Its Peculiarities
(MDPI, 2022-01-03)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a crystalline, weakly basic, colorless organic substance and is one of the most potent marine toxins known. Although TTX was first isolated from pufferfish, it has been found in ...
Life history traits of Mediterranean brown trout (Salmo trutta complex) in Pyrenean headwater streams
(Springer, 2022-03-25)
The Mediterranean brown trout (Salmo trutta complex) is native to basins draining to the Western Mediterranean Sea, and natural populations are currently declining in abundance and distribution due to ...
Carbon metabolic rates and GHG emissions in different wetland types of the Ebro Delta
(Public Library of Science, 2020-04-22)
Deltaic wetlands are highly productive ecosystems, which characteristically can act as C-sinks. However, they are among the most threatened ecosystems, being very vulnerable to global change, and require ...
Immobilisation of Neuro-2a cells on electrodes and electrochemical detection of MTT formazan crystals to assess their viability
(Elsevier, 2022-09-24)
Marine toxins are potent toxic compounds that may reach humans and poison them. Therefore, their detection in seafood is crucial to prevent intoxication cases. Colorimetric cell-based assays (CBAs) have ...
Individual body mass and length dataset for over 12,000 fish from Iberian streams
(Elsevier, 2022-05-06)
We provide a unique fish individual body size dataset collected from our own sampling and public sources in north-eastern Spain. The dataset includes individual body size measures (fork length and mass) ...
