AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on marine biotoxins, which are harmful substances that can affect both marine life and humans, particularly in bivalve molluscs sold in Poland.
- Over four years, 256 samples from eight different mollusc species were tested for various types of shellfish poisons using the ELISA method.
- Results showed that none of the samples exceeded safe biotoxin limits, indicating that the bivalve molluscs available in Poland were safe for consumption.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Marine biotoxins are toxic substances that may cause illness and death in marine organisms and humans. This article disseminates the results of a 4-year study on the occurrence of marine biotoxins in raw bivalve molluscs purchased from Polish suppliers.
Material And Methods: A total of 256 samples of 8 different molluscs species were analysed for the presence of biotoxins using the ELISA method for paralytic shellfish poison, diarrhoetic shellfish poison, and amnaesic shellfish poison.
Results: The permitted limits of marine biotoxin content were not exceeded in any of the analysed samples and the majority of them were free from these compounds.
Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that the tested raw bivalve molluscs available in Poland were safe for consumers.

Sea anemones play a crucial role in marine ecosystems. Recent studies have highlighted their physiological and ecological responses to thermal stress. Therefore, our objective was to perform a proteomic analysis of sea anemones in the Gulf of Mexico, subjected to thermal stress, to understand whether these organisms activate specific processes to resist increased temperature.

Nanozymes, a kind of nanoparticles with enzyme-mimicking activities, have attracted considerable attention due to their robust catalytic properties, ease of preparation, and resistance to harsh conditions. By combining nanozymes with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology, highly sensitive and selective sensors have been developed. These sensors are capable of detecting a wide range of analytes, such as foodborne toxins, environmental pollutants, and biomedical markers.

The multiple-tentacle box jellyfish, (Sucharitakul, 2017) and (Horst, 1907), are venomous species found in Thai waters. They are responsible for numerous envenomations through their stinging organelles, nematocysts. These specialized microscopic structures discharge venom, yet detailed knowledge of their types and morphology in these species remains limited.

This study explored harmful algal bloom (HAB) risk as a function of exposure, hazard and vulnerability, using Scotland as a case study. Exposure was defined as the fish biomass estimated to be lost from a bloom event, based on the total recorded annual production. Hazard was estimated from literature-reported bloom events.
