MultiBarcodeTools: Easy selection of optimal primers for eDNA multi‐metabarcoding
Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) is a revolutionary technique for monitoring of ecosystems, but no single primer can amplify and discriminate all species in any environment. We developed MultiBarcodeTools, which automatically recommend the optimal combination of fish eDNA multi‐metabarcoding primers.

A Perspective on Removal of Cyanotoxins from Water Through Advanced Oxidation Processes
Sulfate radical‐based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) excel in cyanotoxin removal. Their high reactivity efficiently degrades diverse cyanotoxins, ensuring safe water quality. Their versatility and effectiveness make them the most suitable AOPs and safeguard aquatic ecosystems and human health.

Emergent marine toxins risk assessment using molecular and chemical approaches
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

Abstract Tetrodotoxins (TTXs) are a group of potent neurotoxins named after the Tetraodontidae fish family (pufferfish). TTXs have been reported in several animal taxa, both terrestrial and marine. The ingestion of TTX‐contaminated flesh can cause serious neurotoxic symptomatology and can eventually lead to death.
