Happy to share our Opinion article on #seafood safety and #biotoxins, just published in COFS (https://t.co/nkdyDgZ3TY) as a partnership among researchers from @UFPR, @ufrj, @ifsc and @Mapa_Brasil!!!

A "swarm" of Dinophysis acuminata, as seen in #slowmotion under 100× magnification. Sample collected in Southern #Brazil, concentrated and size-fractioned by #plankton nets prior to the experiment.

Dinner is served!!
Feeding experiment just started at @lamic_ufpr assessing the role of Noctiluca scintillans in Dinophysis #bloom control and #toxin transfer!

Not rarely in Southern Brazil, Noctiluca preys upon cells of harmful algae like #Dinophysis, becoming a vector of their diarrhetic #shellfish #toxins to #marine #food webs and #seafood consumers.

Although classified as #microalgae, these #dinoflagellates are heterotrophic microorganisms, actively feeding on other algal cells, which can be almost as large as them!

PARCERIA

Quando Ricardo Álvarez confirmou ter achado uma nova espécie de minhoca do mar, não teve dúvidas: homenageou no nome dela o seu primeiro orientador, Paulo Lana, falecido inesperadamente em 2022.+

Leaf sheep (Costasiella kuroshimae), a species of sea slug, retains the chloroplasts from algae they graze on to perform photosynthesis, a process known as kleptoplasty.

Ever wondered what #seaturtles eat in the ocean? Well, along with #seaweeds, #seagrasses and smalls animals, they might also ingest #harmful_algae and accumulate their #toxins! See full story at: https://t.co/uRRaNBSSAA

Curious to learn which benthic #HAB species occur in #SouthAmerica and what impacts they cause there? Researchers from 8 coastal SA countries tell you all about it here: https://t.co/XSlbzImVzq

Our students Mariana Matiazzi and Leonardo Magro just started their experiments on the uptake of #microplastics and #biotoxins by zooplankton. The tiny red dots inside the artemia's guts are plastic microbeads coated by #biofilm. #marinepollution @cienciaufpr
