TL;DR: Results implicate toxic K. micrum as a causative factor in fish death in a non-aquaculture brackish pond associated with a housing development, and extend recent findings linking this species to fish kills in aquaculture ponds.

TL;DR: A sequencing strategy directed by heteroduplex mobility assay-directed sequence discovery is broadly applicable, and may be adapted for the detection of genomic sequence data of other novel or nonculturable organisms in complex assemblages.

TL;DR: Diversity analysis shows that 363 and 286 unique genes were identified from the hemocyte and embryo libraries, respectively, indicating that full-scale EST collection is a valuable approach for the discovery of new genes of potential significance in the molluscan stress response.

TL;DR: The development and validation of a suite of real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for species associated with fish kill events in Japanese, European, Canadian, and U.S. coastal waters and phylogenetic analyses to determine the relationship between these species were performed.

TL;DR: The South Carolina coastal zone is among the fastest growing areas in the U.S., and population epicenters are marked by dense brackish water pond (lagoon) coverage associated with housing complexes and golf courses as discussed by the authors.
