Journal ArticleDOI
Growth and toxin production in the ciguatera-causing dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus polynesiensis (Dinophyceae) in culture
Mireille Chinain,H. Taiana Darius,André Ung,Philippe Cruchet,Zhihong Wang,Dominique Ponton,Dominique Laurent,Serge Pauillac +7 more
TL;DR: Toxin composition comparison between two G. polynesiensis strains suggests that the toxin profile is a stable characteristic in this species, which proved inherently more toxic than other Gambierdiscus species isolated from other geographical areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is geometric morphometrics efficient for comparing otolith shape of different fish species
TL;DR: Despite otoliths having only a few, sparsely located, homologous landmarks, GM appeared slightly more efficient in distinguishing the sagittae of the four species and allowed visualization of the modification of otolith shape as they grow.
Journal ArticleDOI
The match/mismatch hypothesis and the feeding success of fish larvae in ice-covered southeastern Hudson Bay
TL;DR: In this particular ecosystem, a match or mismatch between Arctic cod or sand lance larvae and their prey may depend more on the dynamics of cyclopoid copepods during the previous winter than on the timing of the spring algal blooms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ciguatera risk assessment in two toxic sites of French Polynesia using the receptor-binding assay ☆
Hélène Taiana Darius,Dominique Ponton,Taina Revel,Philippe Cruchet,André Ung,M. Tchou Fouc,Mireille Chinain +6 more
TL;DR: A study was carried out on both Gambierdiscus populations as well as on various fish species using the receptor-binding assay (RBA) to detect and quantify ciguatoxins to assess the ciguatera risk in two islands of French Polynesia.

TL;DR: An annotated checklist of the fish species of the Madagascar EEZ (southwestern Indian Ocean) comprises a total of 1,798 species in 247 families, with the majority of the species is autochthonous; 28 species have been introduced, mainly in freshwater habitats.
