Oceanography and Pacific Oyster Biochemical Composition in a Novel Oyster‐Growing Region

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The farming of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea [Magallana] gigas) is a rapidly growing industry in Alaska, where farms represent some of the highest latitude oyster cultivation efforts in the world. Little is known about the nearshore oceanography where Alaskan farms are located, or how the subarctic marine context influences oyster tissue ...

The toxic effects of meta‐tyrosine are related to its misincorporation into the proteome and to altered metabolism in cyanobacteria

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 20, Page 5439-5456, October 2025.
This study reveals that meta‐tyrosine (m‐Tyr), a nonproteinogenic analog of aromatic amino acids, disrupts protein synthesis and photosynthesis in cyanobacteria by being misincorporated by Phenylalanyl‐tRNA synthetase (PheRS) into essential proteins. Through molecular, biochemical, and proteomic analyses in Synechocystis, the research shows that m‐Tyr ...

Saxitoxin Poisoning in Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Linked to Scavenging on Mass Mortality of Caribbean Sharpnose Puffer Fish (Canthigaster rostrata-Tetraodontidae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Fish within the family Tetraodontidae are potential sources of both endogenous tetrodotoxins (TTXs) and dietary derived saxitoxins (STXs). Ingestion of fish tissues containing these toxins by other vertebrates can lead to severe illness and death.

Integrative Monitoring of Marine and Freshwater Harmful Algae in Washington State for Public Health Protection

open access: yesToxins, 2015
The more frequent occurrence of both marine and freshwater toxic algal blooms and recent problems with new toxic events have increased the risk for illness and negatively impacted sustainable public access to safe shellfish and recreational waters in ...

Diversity and seasonality of cyanotoxins in Lake Garda (Italy): potential for hepatotoxic microcystins transfer through the food web [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
42012 SHA 1openToxic cyanobacteria occurrence is a global concern in many eutrophic freshwater ecosystems due to their production of highly toxic secondary metabolites (cyanotoxins): hepatotoxins (microcystins, nodularins), neurotoxins (saxitoxins ...

Identification of harmful cyanobacteria in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Clear Lake, California by DNA barcoding. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Accurate identification of cyanobacteria using traditional morphological taxonomy is challenging due to the magnitude of phenotypic plasticity among natural algal assemblages.

Effects of the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa on eastern oyster feeding

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is an estuarine consumer of considerable ecological and economic value, with the ability to selectively feed from a mixed phytoplankton community. Estuarine phytoplankton communities are experiencing an increased presence of small, nutritionally poor, salt‐tolerant, and potentially toxic cyanobacteria,

Cyanobacterial occurrence and detection of microcystins and saxitoxins in reservoirs of the Brazilian semi-arid

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2015
Aim:The rapid spread of cyanobacteria in water sources and reservoirs has caused serious environmental damage and public health problems, and consists in a problem that challenges the institutions responsible for providing water to the population.

Some marine toxins [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The article presents some toxins of marine origin. These are tetrodotoxin from pufferfish, saxitoxins from red microalgae that mussels and shellfish ingest, and palitoxin the most toxic marine product isolated from zoonthurian Palythoa ...
