The article discusses the monitoring of harmful algal biotoxins in British Columbia coastal waters. It highlights the occurrence of a phytoplankton bloom in 2015 that contained species of the pennate diatom Pseudo-nitzschia, which produce the neurotoxin domoic acid. The article also mentions the establishment of the Marine Biotoxin Monitoring Program, which collects samples to analyze biotoxin levels in critical habitats for endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales and Pacific salmon. The program aims to assess the risks posed by toxic harmful algal blooms to marine life and their potential impact on future climate-related changes. [Extracted from the article] |
