Toxic algal blooms occur worldwide and in some areas they are a common and seasonal
occurrence. Historically, attention has been focused on blooms of toxic dinoflagellates (eg …

This is a critical review of the global distribution, sources of variation in toxicity, anatomical
partitioning, metabolism, and detoxification kinetics of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) …

Suspension-feeding bivalve molluscs are foundation species in coastal intertidal systems.
The selective feeding capabilities of these animals can have a large influence on …

Scallops: Biology, Ecology, Aquaculture and Fisheries, Third Edition, continues its history as
the definitive resource on scallops, covering all facets of scallop biology, including anatomy …

Seasonal variation of phytoplankton over an intertidal mussel bed was measured in the
Wadden Sea near the island of Sylt between February 1984 and April 1985. To quantify the …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the geographical and local distribution of scallop
populations, concentrating on the species of commercial importance. It also discusses the …

There have been several studies where the isotopic composition of organisms has been
determined seasonally, but fewer have examined separate organs. In this context, separate …

This study tested the hypothesis that mesozooplankton, particularly crustaceans, inhaled by
mussels Mytilus edulis (L.) would be killed by ingestion, or by incorporation into …

Nitrogen stable isotopes can be used to estimate the trophic position of consumers in food
webs. However, the nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ 15 N) of primary producers at the base …

Rapid environmental change is linked to increases in aquatic disease heightening the need
to develop strategies to manage disease. Filter-feeding species are effective biofilters and …
