Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on the safety of an oil derived from the microalga‐like organism Schizochytrium sp. A2 as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

Heart Alterations after Domoic Acid Administration in Rats
Domoic acid (DA) is one of the best known marine toxins, causative of important neurotoxic alterations. DA effects are documented both in wildlife and experimental assays, showing that this toxin causes severe injuries principally in the hippocampal area.

Dissolved Algal Toxins along the Southern Coast of British Columbia Canada
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in coastal British Columbia (BC), Canada, negatively impact the salmon aquaculture industry. One disease of interest to salmon aquaculture is Net Pen Liver Disease (NPLD), which induces severe liver damage and is believed to ...

Diatoms–copepods: An evolutionary arms race
Abstract Diatoms and copepods are dominating and diverse groups of phytoplankton and zooplankton, respectively. Diatoms account for 25–40% of ocean primary production, and their main predators, copepods, are arguably the most abundant group of metazoans in the ocean, typically accounting for ~ 80% of zooplankton biomass.

Disposable immunosensor for the determination of domoic acid in shellfish [PDF]
The construction of an electrochemical immunosensor coupled to differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) for the detection of domoic acid (DA), a neurotoxic aminoacid responsible for the human syndrome known as "Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning" (ASP), is proposed here.

Pseudo-nitzschia blooms often occur in coastal and open ocean environments, sometimes leading to the production of the neurotoxin domoic acid that can cause severe negative impacts to higher trophic levels.

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...
