Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii is recognised as an important pathogen in the marine environment, with oocysts carried to coastal waters in overland runoff. Currently, there are no standardised methods to detect T. gondii directly in seawater to… read more here.

Abstract: Microplastics (MPs) are of increasing concern for filter feeding marine and freshwater species. Additionally MPs can sorb hydrophobic contaminants from the water, potentially providing an additional pathway of exposure of aquatic species to contaminants. An… read more here.

Abstract: We evaluated the thermotolerance (LT50) of adult green-lipped mussels (Perna canaliculus) following an acute thermal challenge in the summer of 2012 and the winter of 2013. Mussels were grouped into two treatments, naïve (N, no… read more here.
