Environmental Factors Influencing Metal Concentrations in Scomber colias Along the Canary Islands. [PDF]
Abstract A total of 140 specimens of Scomber colias were collected from the Canary archipelago waters during the first semester of 2021, with 20 samples from each of the seven main islands. After analyzing the concentrations of metals (Al, Zn, Cd, Pb, Fe, and Cu) with ICP-OES, significant variations were observed among islands, with specimens

Parasites of the head of Scomber colias (Osteichthyes: Scombridae) from the western Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
AbstractThe metazoan parasite assemblage of the head of 30 specimens of the Atlantic chub mackerel (Scomber colias) from the western Mediterranean Sea was analysed. Eight species of parasites were found, four mazocraeid monogeneans: Grubea cochlear (prevalence = 10%), Kuhnia scombercolias (59%), K.

Interdecadal variations of the mercury content in Scomber colias in Canary Islands
Mercury is a very dangerous toxic metal that bioaccumulates very easily in organisms, and it migrates through the food web. The specimens studied in this study were Scomber colias. In the results obtained for the years 1973, 1992, and 2021, the concentration of mercury has been decreasing considerably over the decades, starting with 0.23 ± 0.04 mg/kg ...

Re-evaluation of certain aspects of the EFSA Scientific Opinion of April 2010 on risk assessment of parasites in fishery products, based on new scientific data. Part 2. [PDF]
Abstract The objective of this opinion was to determine if any wild caught fish species, originating from specific fishing grounds and consumed in the EU/EFTA could be considered free of zoonotic parasites. In this Opinion the term ‘fishery products’ only refers to fresh finfish.

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.
