Oral bioaccessibility of toxic and essential elements in raw and cooked commercial seafood species available in European markets
(Elsevier, 2017-11-16)
The oral bioaccessibility of several essential and toxic elements was investigated in raw and cooked commercially available seafood species from European markets. Bioaccessibility varied between seafood ...
Avoiding quantification bias in metabarcoding: Application of a cell biovolume correction factor in diatom molecular biomonitoring
(Wiley, 2017-12-26)
In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in developing environmental DNA metabarcoding. However, its ability to quantify species relative abundance remains uncertain, limiting its application ...
Identification of ciguatoxins in a shark involved in a fatal food poisoning in the Indian Ocean
(Nature Research, 2017-08-15)
Severe food poisoning events after the consumption of sharks have been reported since the 1940s;
however, there has been no clear understanding of their cause. Herein, we report for the frst time ...
Bed load transport and incipient motion below a large gravel bed river bend
(Elsevier, 2017-08-08)
A new data set of bed load measurements in a cross-section at the exit of a river bend is presented. Data are analyzed to identify processes that contribute to the morphodynamic stability of gravel bed ...
Seasonal patterns of settlement and growth of introduced and native ascidians in bivalve cultures in the Ebro Delta (NE Iberian Peninsula)
(Elsevier, 2017-11-13)
Ascidians are important both as invasive species and as a fouling group in artificial marine habitats, causing negative impacts in aquaculture settings and the surrounding environment. The Ebro Delta ...
A Production Calendar Based on Water Temperature, Spat Size, and Husbandry Practices Reduce OsHV-1 μvar Impact on Cultured Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas in the Ebro Delta (Catalonia), Mediterranean Coast of Spain
(Frontiers Media, 2017-03-03)
Since 2006, the production of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in the Ebro Delta area has dramatically declined from around 800 metric tons (MT) per year to 138 MT in 2011. This decline in production ...
LC-MS/MS Detection of Karlotoxins Reveals New Variants in Strains of the Marine Dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum from the Ebro Delta (NW Mediterranean)
(MDPI, 2017-12-18)
A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the detection and quantitation of karlotoxins in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. This novel method was ...
Adult spawning and early larval development of the endangered bivalve Pinna nobilis
(Elsevier, 2017-10-16)
The development of aquaculture activities has posed an alternative solution for the preservation of some overexploited shellfish fisheries worldwide. In the same way, endemic Mediterranean bivalves such ...
Self-assembled monolayer-based immunoassays for okadaic acid detection in seawater as monitoring tools
(Elsevier, 2017-11-14)
Rapid and cost-effective methods to monitor the presence of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins in seawater samples in an easy and reliable manner are required to protect human health and avoid ...
Temperature affects growth allometry and development patterns in brown trout (Salmo trutta) fry: a multitrait approach
(NRC Research Press, 2017-07-17)
To study the influence of temperature (4, 6, and 12 °C) on the development of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from hatching to the end of metamorphosis, an analysis of allometric growth patterns was conducted ...
