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 ...
Physiological responses of the fan mussel Pinna nobilis to temperature: ecological and captivity implications
(Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, 2023-05-29)
The fan mussel Pinna nobilis is experiencing a mass mortality event throughout the Mediterranean Sea. The survival of the remaining isolated populations and the maintenance and reproduction of individuals ...
Adaptation of the European Fish Index (EFI+) to Include the Alien Fish Pressure
(MDPI, 2023-12-29)
The European Fish Index EFI+ is the only fish-based multimetric index for the assessment of the ecological status of running waters that is validated and thus applicable across most countries of the ...
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 ...
Molecular identification, life cycle characterization, and hatchery seed production of dwarf oysters from the Ebro Delta (Spain)
(EDP Sciences, 2022-05-20)
Dwarf oysters in the Ebro Delta are only observed growing on local pen shells, Pinna nobilis L., currently under extinction risk. The species identification of these populations is uncertain, given ...
Ostreopsis cf. ovata and Ostreopsis lenticularis (Dinophyceae: Gonyaulacales) in the Galapagos Marine Reserve
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2020-06-15)
The genus of benthic dinoflagellates Ostreopsis is of particular interest because some species negatively impact human health and coastal marine ecosystems. Ostreopsis populations from a remote area, ...
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 ...
Movements and dispersal of brown trout (Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758) in Mediterranean streams: influence of habitat and biotic factors
(PeerJ, 2018-10-12)
Dispersal is a critical determinant of animal distribution and population dynamics, and is essential information for management planning. We studied the movement patterns and the influence of habitat ...
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 ...
Structural and functional responses of invertebrate communities to climate change and flow regulation in alpine catchments
(Wiley, 2019-01-30)
Understanding and predicting how biological communities respond to climate change is critical for assessing biodiversity vulnerability and guiding conservation efforts. Glacier‐ and snow‐fed rivers are ...
