The blue mussel (Mytilus spp.) is widely used as a bioindicator for monitoring of coastal
water pollution (mussel watch programs). Herein we provide a review of this study field with …

Toxin production by harmful cyanobacteria blooms (CyanoHABs) constitutes a major,
worldwide environmental threat to freshwater aquatic resources that is expected to expand …

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes with wide geographic distribution that can
produce secondary metabolites named cyanotoxins. These toxins can be classified into …

BACKGROUND This biennial review covers developments in environmental mass
spectrometry for emerging environmental contaminants over the period of 2006-2007. A few …

Cyanobacteria produce a wide range of structurally diverse cyanotoxins and bioactive
cyanopeptides in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems. The health significance of …

In the Barents Sea, the limited data on biological relevant indicators and their responses to
various anthropogenic stressors have hindered the development of a consistent scientific …

Climate change-related factors are predicted to affect aquatic environments in many ways.
Fish physiology, immunology, behaviour, and parasite-avoidance strategies are likely to be …

Cyanobacterial blooms have increased worldwide and decreases in spring blooms of
diatoms in temperate aquatic ecosystems are increasingly reported. Whether such shifts in …

Harmful algae blooms have expanded greatly in recent decades, and their secreted toxins
pose a severe threat to human health and marine ecosystems. Saxitoxin (STX) is a main …

In this paper, an LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous identification and quantification of
cyanotoxins with hydrophilic and lipophilic properties in edible bivalves is presented. The …
