picoeucaryot alga infecting blue mussel mytilus edulis in southern norway.during summer 2001, blue mussels mytilus edulis with abnormal shell growth were collected near kragerø, southern norway. the mussels had green spots in their mantle tissues, mainly posteriorly and ventrally, and in the adductor muscle. mussels from 4 sites had a prevalence of green spots varying from 2 to 71% that correlated well with shell deformities. histological examination revealed the presence of round or ovoid algae, 0.9 to 1.5 x 1.2 to 2.4 microm, free within haemocytes and in the lesion ...200515759797
diarrhetic shellfish poisoning by okadaic acid esters from brown crabs (cancer pagurus) in norway.in 2002 several hundred people were taken ill after eating self-harvested brown crabs (cancer pagurus) in the southern part of norway. the symptoms were similar to diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (dsp) although with a somewhat delayed onset. this happened at the same time as an unusual early bloom of dinophysis acuta had lead to high amounts of dsp toxins in blue mussels (mytilus edulis) in the same area. the proposed cause of the intoxication was that crabs had accumulated toxins by eating blue ...200516153454
detection of enteric viruses in shellfish from the norwegian coast.common blue mussels (mytilus edulis), horse mussels (modiolus modiolus), and flat oysters (ostrea edulis) obtained from various harvesting and commercial production sites along the norwegian coast were screened for the presence of norovirus by a real-time reverse transcription (rt)-nested pcr assay and for possible indicators of fecal contamination, i.e., for f-specific rna bacteriophages (f-rna phages) by plaque assay and for human adenoviruses and human circoviruses by nested pcr assay. the ai ...200415128518
heavy metals (cadmium, copper, lead and mercury) in common eiders (somateria mollissima) from denmark.in an examination of 50 danish common eiders, the liver and kidney content of cadmium, copper, lead and mercury was determined. eiders were chosen for analysis, because this species feed almost exclusively on the common mussel (mytilus edulis), which is known to accumulate heavy metals. the concentrations recorded of cadmium, copper, and mercury were lower than what is usually regarded as toxic for birds, except for one eider which carried more than 2000 mg copper/kg liver tissue (dry weight). o ...19836674934
determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments and mussels from saudafjord, w. norway, by glass capillary gas chromatography.polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pah) have been determined, by glass capillary gas chromatography, in two species of bivalves (mytilus edulis and modiolus modiolus) and sediments of saudafjorden, norway. the pah observed are derived from waste effluents from a ferro alloy smelter. up to 34 pah compounds were identified, including some reported to be carcinogenic. the concentrations decreased rapidly with distance from the source and with sediment depth, but could be traced more than 15 km from ...1979493957
oil well produced water discharges to the north sea. part i: comparison of deployed mussels (mytilus edulis), semi-permeable membrane devices, and the dream model predictions to estimate the dispersion of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.the oil companies operating in the norwegian sector of the north sea have conducted field studies since the mid-1990s to monitor produced water discharges to the ocean. these studies have been used to refine monitoring methods, and to develop and validate a dispersion and impact assessment model. this paper summarizes monitoring data from surveys conducted in two major oil and gas production areas, and compares the results to concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pah) in surface wa ...200616713621
