Guidance Level for Brevetoxins in French Shellfish

Marine Drugs, 2021
Brevetoxins (BTXs) are marine biotoxins responsible for neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) after ingestion of contaminated shellfish. NSP is characterized by neurological, gastrointestinal and/or cardiovascular symptoms. The main known producer of BTXs

Evaluation of the study carried out by ANSES on the effectiveness of sanitary shucking of queen scallops (Aequipecten opercularis) contaminated by okadaic acid toxins

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA evaluated the effectiveness of sanitary shucking of queen scallops (Aequipecten opercularis) contaminated with okadaic acid (OA) group toxins. Specifically, EFSA was tasked to evaluate a study conducted by the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES ...

Enteric Nervous System Damage by Food Contaminants: A Pathway to Neurodegeneration?

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The enteric nervous system (ENS), a key component of the gut–brain axis, has emerged as a critical player in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is the first neural system exposed to food contaminants (FCs)—a diverse group of ubiquitous toxic compounds fortuitously present in food derived from production, processing, storage, or ...

Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

Unveiling Patterns in Cetacean Strandings Along Southern Atlantic Iberia: Temporal and Spatial Trends, Seasonality, and Causes of Death

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.

Risk assessment of the production of seaweed in the Netherlands; food safety and nature

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Seaweed is seen as an important source of alternative proteins for a sustainable food system and food security. The cultivation of seaweed is therefore encouraged by the European Union (EU) and also by the Dutch government.In the Netherlands, seaweed is farmed on small scale in the Southwest Delta, the Wadden Sea and the North Sea. Despite the

Marine Parasites as Bioindicators for Toxins and Their Potential Role as Environmental Sinks for Marine Fauna

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Researches are being frequently conducted on the utility aspects of helminth parasites worldwide. The evolution is driven by the need for survival against the toxicity of biometals that emerged in zoonotic roundworms of Anisakidae. Aims This study is aimed at investigating whether the sequestration of biometals from the environment into the ...

Intraguild predation in sympatric seals and the effect on a declining population

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2572-2583, December 2025.
This study examined the prevalence, spatial extent, and temporal trends of grey seal intraguild predation (IGP). We demonstrated the utility of integrating disparate datasets to address conservation challenges and highlighted how IGP, while seemingly rare, can hold sympatric species in a predator‐pit and in small populations may contribute to declines.
