The influence of the toxin-producing dinoflagellate, Alexandrium catenella, on feeding, reproduction and toxin retention in Calanus helgolandicus Open
Copepods of the genus Calanus dominate the biomass of pelagic ecosystems from the Mediterranean Sea up into the Arctic Ocean and form an important link between phytoplankton and higher trophic levels. Impacts from toxin-producing harmful a…

New tools and recommendations for a better management of harmful algal blooms under the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive Open
Marine harmful algal blooms (HABs), caused by various aquatic microalgae, pose significant risks to ecosystems, some socio-economic activities and human health. Traditionally managed as a public health issue through reactive control measur…

Unusual coccolithophore blooms in Scottish waters Open
Two unusual blooms were observed in Scottish waters during summer 2021: one in the Clyde Sea and the other by the east coast of the Shetland Islands. Both had the appearance of coccolithophore blooms. Transmission electron microscopy of a …

At what scale should we assess the health of pelagic habitats? Trade-offs between small-scale manageable pressures and the need for regional upscaling Open
Major planktonic lifeforms such as diatoms, dinoflagellates, meroplankton and holoplankton have recently shown significant and alarming changes in abundance - mainly downwards trends - around the northwest European shelf. This has major im…

High-CO2 Levels Rather than Acidification Restrict Emiliania huxleyi Growth and Performance Open
The coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi shows a variety of responses to ocean acidification (OA) and to high-CO 2 concentrations, but there is still controversy on differentiating between these two factors when using different strains and cu…

The onset of the spring phytoplankton bloom in the coastal North Sea supports the Disturbance Recovery Hypothesis Open
The spring phytoplankton bloom is a key event in temperate and polar seas, yet the mechanisms that trigger it remain under debate. Some hypotheses claim that the spring bloom onset occurs when light is no longer limiting, allowing phytopla…
