NEW YORK: Researchers from Australia scientists found warmer oceans could affect the way shellfish take up naturally occurring paralytic shellfish toxins, which are produced by certain species of microalgae, according to ABC.
The research from the University of Technology Sydney and the New South Wales Government, published in the Global Change Biology journal, involved a large-scale feeding experiment on several different oyster types kept at two different temperatures.
Associate professor Shauna Murray said the Sydney rock oyster and the diploid form of the Pacific oyster absorbed less toxin in warmer temperatures, but the toxin removal process slowed down.
