Journal ArticleDOI
Paralytic shellfish poison (saxitoxin family) bioassays: automated endpoint determination and standardization of the in vitro tissue culture bioassay, and comparison with the standard mouse bioassay.
Joanne F. Jellett,Linda Marks,James E. Stewart,Maria L. Dorey,Wendy Watson-Wright,James F. Lawrence +5 more
TL;DR: The automated tissue culture (neuroblastoma cell) bioassay may be a valid alternative to live animal testing for paralytic shellfish poisoning and is considerably more sensitive to high performance liquid chromatographic analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural and induced bactericidal activities in the hemolymph of the lobster, Homarus americanus: products of hemocyte-plasma interaction.
James E. Stewart,B. M. Zwicker +1 more
TL;DR: The salient features of this study of the enhancement of bactericidal activity in the hemolymph of the American lobster were increase in response to a number of non-pathogens isolated from the lobster's intestinal tract, and no protection against Gaffkya homari was conferred on the lobster.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial utilization of the neurotoxin domoic acid: blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and soft shell clams (Mya arenaria) as sources of the microorganisms
TL;DR: Results show that Mytilus edulis and Mya arenaria, almost uniquely, are prime and reliable sources of domoic acid utilizing bacteria, suggesting a strong possibility that autochthonous bacteria may be significant factors in the elimination of the neurotoxin in these two species of shellfish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gaffkemia, a bacterial disease of the lobster, Homarus americanus: effects of the pathogen, Gaffkya homari, on the physiology of the host.
TL;DR: The main effects of the gaffkya homari infection was the great increase in hemolymph clotting times followed by the essential elimination of clotting, and an extreme hyperglycemic effect, attributed to stress, was observed in both control and infected lobsters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introductions as Factors in Diseases of Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates
TL;DR: Control measures and information services devised by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission and the Office International des Epizooties are described.
