Abstract Harmful Algae Blooms (HAB) have been documented for at least fifty years in Latin
America and the Caribbean (LAC), however, their impacts at social, ecological and …

Here we described the general hydrography in the South Brazil Bight (23–28° S) with
emphasis on frontal processes and their role in the structure and functioning of the regional …

The neurotoxin β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) is naturally present in some microalgal
species in the marine environment. The accumulation of BMAA has widely been observed in …

Algal toxins are involved in the mortality and/or illness of marine organisms via consumption
of contaminated prey, or upon direct exposure to toxic cells. In this study, the presence of …

Understanding the different scales of temporal variability is crucial to improve the knowledge
of the biogeochemical processes in the land-ocean interface. In this study, we evaluated the …

The aim of our research was to study the composition of Pseudo‐nitzschia species during a
period when neurotoxin domoic acid (DA) was present in shellfish. Sampling was conducted …

This study investigated the spatial and temporal distributions of toxigenic phytoplankton
species between October 2010 and April 2012 in Guaratuba Bay, Paraná state, Brazil …

Seasonal dynamics, including the Pseudo-nitzschia delicatissima (PDG) group's vertical and
spatial distribution, were analysed based on field data collected in the Black Sea from 1948 …
