An assessment of people living by coral reefs over space and time
Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 23, Page 7139-7153, December 2022., 2022 Human populations near ecosystems are used as both a proxy for dependency on ecosystems, and conversely to estimate threats. We present trends of changes in human populations living near coral reefs over a 20‐year time period (2000‐2020). We find that across 117 coral reef countries there are currently close to a billion people living within 100 km of ...

Health benefits of microalgae and their microbiomes
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1966-1983, July 2022., 2022 Microalgae may offer solutions to the societal challenge we face concerning the lack of antibiotics treating the growing level of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and fungi in clinical and industrial settings. While the vast majority of microalgae and their associated microbiota are unstudied, they may be a fascinating and rewarding source for novel ...

Spearfishing-induced behavioral changes of an unharvested species inside and outside a marine protected area. [PDF]
, 2016 By prohibiting fishing, marine protected areas (MPAs) provide a refuge for harvested species. Humans are often perceived as predators by prey and therefore respond fearfully to humans.

Emergent marine toxins risk assessment using molecular and chemical approaches
EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue S1, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Cyanobacteria harmful blooms represent a deviation to the normal equilibrium in planktonic communities involving a rapid and uncontrolled growth. Owing to the capacity to produce toxins as secondary metabolites, cyanobacteria may cause huge economic losses in the fishing and aquaculture industries and poisoning incidents to humans due to their

Ciguatera fish poisoning in Brazilian traveler to Caribbean
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Ciguatera poisoning is the most common form of non-bacterial food-poisoning from fish worldwide. The incidence among Brazilians returning from high-risk regions is unclear because it is not a mandatory reportable disease. We describe a previously healthy
