Article Synopsis
- - Domoic acid (DA), a harmful toxin from Pseudo-nitzschia diatoms, causes Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP) and has led to significant harvest bans in the English Channel, affecting economically important scallop species like Pecten maximus.
- - The study investigated the depuration rate of DA in queen scallops (Aequipecten opercularis) after exposure to a toxic bloom, finding that these scallops can remain contaminated for up to 70 days even at low toxin levels.

- A review of wrongful conviction cases found that while BMI was a misleading forensic evidence in 26 cases, it was not the sole cause in most instances; other factors like official misconduct and perjury were more prevalent.
- The review emphasizes the need to distinguish FO from BMI, as FO includes a wider range of reliable forensic practices beyond just bite mark analysis.
