Harmful benthic dinoflagellates, usually developing in tropical areas, are expanding to
temperate ecosystems facing water warming. Reports on harmful benthic species are particularly …

Macrophytes are known to release allelochemicals that have the ability to inhibit the
proliferation of their competitors. Here, we investigated the effects of the fresh leaves of two …

Highlights • First time detection of potentially toxic epibenthic dinoflagellates on macrophytes
from the Bizerte Bay and Lagoon. • First description of the seasonal distribution of …

The effects of two plastic-derived chemicals: Bisphenol A (BPA) and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate
(DEHP) were assessed on abundance and physiological responses of the marine toxic …

Ciguatoxins (CTXs), potent neurotoxins produced by dinoflagellates of the genera
Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa, accumulate in commonly consumed fish species, causing human …

Ciguatera poisoning is a food intoxication associated with the consumption of fish or
shellfish contaminated, through trophic transfer, with ciguatoxins (CTXs). In this study, we …

The microplastics (MPs) vector effect of environmental contaminants (such as polychlorinated
biphenyls-PCBs) to organism tissues is currently one of the major concerns regarding MPs …

Harmful events associated with benthic algal blooms (BHABs), have been reported more
frequently over the last decades. Many epibenthic dinoflagellates are known to produce potent …
