Tracking a large‐scale and highly toxic Arctic algal bloom: Rapid detection and risk communication
Abstract In recent years, blooms of the neurotoxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella have been documented in Pacific Arctic waters, and the paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) that this species produces have been detected throughout the food web. These observations have raised significant concerns about the role that harmful algal blooms (HABs) will ...

Salinity effects on growth and toxin production in an Alexandrium ostenfeldii (Dinophyceae) isolate from The Netherlands [PDF]
Alexandrium ostenfeldii is among the most intensely studied marine planktonic dinophytes and in the last few years blooms have become a recurrent phenomenon mainly in brackish coastal waters. Since 2012, A.

Field monitoring of copepodamides using a new application for solid phase adsorption toxin tracking
Abstract Chemical signaling is ubiquitous in the marine environment. Plankton rely on chemical signals to find mates, hunt prey, and respond to threats, and these small‐scale interactions can propagate into community‐wide cascades and large‐scale ecological changes. The chemical signaling exchange in the open ocean is poorly understood, and fundamental
