First evidence of the induction of domoic acid production in Pseudo-nitzschia australis by the copepod Temora longicornis from the French coast.

Diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia are widespread in marine waters. Some of them can produce the toxin domoic acid (DA) which can be responsible for amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) when transferred into the food web. These ASP events are of major concern, due to their ecological and socio-economic repercussions, particularly on the shellfish industry.

Interactions between Filter-Feeding Bivalves and Toxic Diatoms: Influence on the Feeding Behavior of and and on Toxin Production by .

Among species, some produce the neurotoxin domoic acid (DA), a source of serious health problems for marine organisms. Filter-feeding organisms-e.g.

Differential Influence of Life Cycle on Growth and Toxin Production of three Pseudo-nitzschia Species (Bacillariophyceae).

We used a multistrain approach to study the intra- and interspecific variability of the growth rates of three Pseudo-nitzschia species - P. australis, P. fraudulenta, and P.
