In aquatic ecosystems, unicellular algae form the basis of the food webs. Theoretical and
experimental studies have demonstrated that one of the mechanisms that maintain high …

Climate change has multiple effects on Baltic Sea species, communities and ecosystem
functioning through changes in physical and biogeochemical environmental characteristics …

Across the European Atlantic Arc (Scotland, Ireland, England, France, Spain, and Portugal)
the shellfish aquaculture industry is dominated by the production of mussels, followed by …

Marine planktonic copepods are important grazers on harmful algae (HA) species of
phytoplankton, and copepods are major entry points for vectorial intoxication of pelagic food …

Abstract Effects of household post-consumer plastics and tyre rubber on a Baltic Sea
copepod Limnocalanus macrurus were assessed. Fragments of commercial recycled low …

In the past years, some coastal areas in the central and northern Baltic Sea have
experienced recurrent blooms of the potentially toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium ostenfeldii …

Harmful algae may differently affect their primary grazers, causing sub-lethal effects and/or
leading to their death. The present study aim to compare the effects of three toxic benthic …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are globally expanding, compromising water quality
worldwide. HAB dynamics are determined by a complex interplay of abiotic and biotic …

Deterministic and stochastic models of nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton interaction are
proposed to investigate the impact of toxin producing phytoplankton upon persistence of the …

The paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium ostenfeldii forms
dense, recurrent blooms during summer in shallow coastal areas of the Baltic Sea. We …
