The bioaccumulation of algal toxins can potentially cause serious health issues to shellfish consumers. Countries with a shellfish aquaculture industry (such as Scotland) have set up for their classified production areas a phytoplankton monitoring programme as part of their legal obligations (EC 854\/2004 and amendments). This involves the regular collection of water samples to assess the phytoplankton community using light microscopy, with a particular emphasis on the toxin producing species. However, this technique lacks the ability to identify some key phytoplankton to a species level (e.g. Pseudo-nitzschia sp., Alexandrium sp.), which is critical to appropriately assess the potential toxicity of a phytoplankton bloom event. The objective of this project was to evaluate a microarray technique which was developed during the MIDTAL project (Microarrays For The Detection of Toxic Algae: \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.midtal.com\/\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.midtal.com\/\u003C\/a\u003E) to identify phytoplankton to species level. Microarrays are modified glass supports on which are printed RNA probes that are species-specific. Each targeted phytoplankton species is defined by a set of probes that are statistically unique to each one. For the purpose of this project, water samples were collected offshore from Stonehaven (East coast of Scotland) over a two years period (starting in 2015) and processed using the microarray to assess its specificity and sensitivity in relation to the identification and potential semi-quantification of toxic strains of phytoplankton.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","url":"https:\/\/data.marine.gov.scot\/dataset\/microarray-detection-and-quantification-toxin-producing-phytoplankton-species-scottish","state":"Active","log_message":"Update to resource \u0027Property title\u0027","private":true,"revision_timestamp":"Tue, 01\/07\/2020 - 17:22","metadata_created":"Fri, 12\/15\/2017 - 11:37","metadata_modified":"Tue, 01\/07\/2020 - 17:22","creator_user_id":"218af04f-a391-4ecf-ad98-c91fd32c2b17","type":"Dataset","resources":[{"id":"111a1c84-2800-4d1f-9337-487558941205","revision_id":"","url":"https:\/\/data.marine.gov.scot\/sites\/default\/files\/\/SMFS%200824.pdf","description":"\u003Cp\u003EPDF of the report\u003C\/p\u003E\n","format":"pdf","state":"Active","revision_timestamp":"Tue, 01\/07\/2020 - 14:53","name":"Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 8 No 24","mimetype":"application\/pdf","size":"1.19 MB","created":"Fri, 12\/15\/2017 - 11:38","resource_group_id":"f96d4bd9-9492-4e8a-b459-d66dfec8d920","last_modified":"Date changed  Tue, 01\/07\/2020 - 14:53"}],"tags":[{"id":"c9e9fca6-7f37-428a-be11-23ab8f7d10fd","vocabulary_id":"2","name":"Phytoplankton"},{"id":"2732a9f0-5195-4319-bf79-1ccaf442696c","vocabulary_id":"2","name":"Toxin concentrations"},{"id":"33d91a97-1ab5-4cb5-ac22-c93321910524","vocabulary_id":"2","name":"biotoxin"},{"id":"46de510f-126b-4051-a421-f322bb3d6209","vocabulary_id":"2","name":"harmful algae"},{"id":"665184ed-c3ba-4b67-a6e9-5afca91f7779","vocabulary_id":"2","name":"biological oceanography"}],"groups":[{"description":"\u003Cp\u003EMarine Directorate undertakes a wide range of monitoring covering many aspects of the Scottish marine ecosystem.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMonitoring is undertaken in Scottish Inshore Waters, using networks of volunteers and automatic recording equipment, as well as in Scottish Offshore Waters, using the MSS research vessels MRV Alba na Mara and MRV Scotia.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMarine Scotland Science also participates national monitoring programmes, such as:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EUK Marine Monitoring and Assessment Strategy (UKMMAS)\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EUK Marine Environmental Change Network (MECN)\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EUK Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN)\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis group provides published data from monitoring these activities.
