  • Ciguatera Food Poisoning in Europe”
    “RISK CHARACTERIZATION OF CIGUATERA FOOD POISONING IN EUROPE” 71st Advisory Forum Meeting 03-04 April 2019 Bucharest, Rumania FRAMEWORK PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT GP/EFSA/AFSCO/2015/03 RISK CHARACTERIZATION OF CIGUATERA FOOD POISONING IN EUROPE [email protected] What is the Ciguatera? • Ciguatoxin is produced by micro algae, or dinoflagellates, called Gambierdiscus spp. The toxins climb up the food chain until the contaminated fish are caught and served to people. • These toxins cause Ciguatera food poisoning (CFP) which is a complex syndrome: gastrointestinal, neurological and cardiovascular effects. CFP is primarily associated with the consumption of large predator fish that have accumulated the toxins by feeding on smaller contaminated coral reef fish. • At present, CFP is the most common type of marine biotoxins food poisoning worldwide with an estimated number of 10.000 to 50.000 people suffering from the disease annually.

Between 2008 and 2018 18 outbreaks (115 cases) recorded in Canary Islands Fish genus Seriola was involved in many of the outbreaks. These new findings suggest the microorganism is becoming an increasing risk for European countries.

  • Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
    ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

  • Zoogeography of Digenetic Trematodes from West African Marine Fishes1
    192 PROCEEDINGS OF THE HELMINTHOLOGICAL SOCIETY Zoogeography of Digenetic Trematodes from West African Marine Fishes1 JACOB H. FISCHTHAL Department of Biological Sciences, State University of New York at Binghamton, Binghamton, New York 13901. ABSTRACT: Of the 107 species of trematodes found in West African (Mauritania to Gabon) marine fishes, 100 are allocated to 64 genera in 24 families while seven are immature didymozoids. Many of these genera are located in most of the world's seas with the exception of the polar seas; only five are en- demic to West Africa. The data for the 41 species known from West Africa and elsewhere, and those morphologically closest to the 55 endemic species, indicate that they are very widely distributed, particularly in the Western and North Atlantic, and Mediterranean. Historical and present- day events concerning physical and biological environmental factors and their effects on actual and po- tential hosts as well as on life cycle stages of the trematodes have resulted in the geographical distribution reported. The distribution of marine fishes has been emphasized to explain in part the trematode distribu- tion. Studies on the geographical distribution of (Gulf of Guinea from 5° S to 15° N) and digenetic trematodes of marine fishes in various warm temperate Mauritania have been pre- seas have been presented by Manter (1955, sented by Ekman (1953), Buchanan (1958), 1963, 1967), Szidat (1961), and Lebedev Longhurst (1962), and Ingham (1970).

  • Otolith Atlas for the Western Mediterranean, North and Central Eastern Atlantic
    SCIENTIA MARINA 72S1 July 2008, 7-198, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 Otolith atlas for the western Mediterranean, north and central eastern Atlantic VICTOR M. TUSET 1, ANTONI LOMBARTE 2 and CARLOS A. ASSIS 3 1 Instituto Canario de Ciencias Marinas, Departamento de Biología Pesquera, P.O. Box. 56, E-35200 Telde (Las Palmas), Canary Islands, Spain. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Institut de Ciències del Mar-CSIC, Departament de Recursos Marins Renovables, Passeig Marítim 37-49, Barcelona 08003, Catalonia, Spain. 3 Instituto de Oceanografia e Departamento de Biologia Animal, Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, Campo Grande 1749-016, Lisboa, Portugal. SUMMARY: The sagittal otolith of 348 species, belonging to 99 families and 22 orders of marine Teleostean fishes from the north and central eastern Atlantic and western Mediterranean were described using morphological and morphometric characters. The morphological descriptions were based on the otolith shape, outline and sulcus acusticus features. The mor- phometric parameters determined were otolith length (OL, mm), height (OH, mm), perimeter (P; mm) and area (A; mm2) and were expressed in terms of shape indices as circularity (P2/A), rectangularity (A/(OL×OH)), aspect ratio (OH/OL; %) and OL/fish size. The present Atlas provides information that complements the characterization of some ichthyologic taxa. In addition, it constitutes an important instrument for species identification using sagittal otoliths collected in fossiliferous layers, in archaeological sites or in feeding remains of bony fish predators. Keywords: otolith, sagitta, morphology, morphometry, western Mediterranean, north eastern Atlantic, central eastern Atlantic.
