Paralytic shellfish poisoning

length. Mytilus trossulus are filter feeders and can filter an average of 340 liters of seawater a day (Wildish, 1990). Therefore, blue mussels have a highly efficient method of accumulating bacteria found in the water, thus exemplifying their importance as biological indicators (Hale, 2003). The mytilus trossulus species has been heavily used in the study of oild pollution, sewage pollution, and chemical contaminats (State of the Coast Environment. http://state_of_coast.noaa.gov/bulletins/html/ccom_05/ccom.html). Researchers have found blue mussels to be contaminated with phytoplankton, therefore resulting in the possible paralytic shellfish poisoning. (Carsten et. al, 2014). Both phytoplankton and blue mussels are primitive resources in the food chain that which hundreds of organisms rely on in order to survive. With the spread of paralytic shellfish poisoning, hundreds of species including humans, are endangered, therefore resulting in a global threat in the declination of the world’s population. The impact of toxic chemicals on the health of organisms who inhabit the earth has been a widely discussed issue for decades. “The concentration of toxic chemicals found in blue mussel tissues is one of the fourteen indicators used by the CBEP to evaluate the environmental health of Casco Bay in State of the Bay’’ (CBEP 2005). The health of the blue mussel population indicates the health of the beach environment and the surrounding water (State of the Coast Environment- NOAA)…

However, we suggest that seafood be stored in its own area in your refrigerator to prevent any potential cross contamination. Seafood allergies cause very severe reactions in those afflicted. Storing seafood over top of other proteins can pose a cross-contamination risk and inadvertently spread these allergens to other items on lower shelves.

I really like the Red Lobster Restaurant I did not have to wait, I got seated right away after I talked to the host/hostess. The host was really kind, she made me felt welcoming to the restaurant. The decor of the restaurant was really nice. When the guests first walk in, they will be able to see a tank with a lot of live lobsters in it.

After a night out my friends and I decided to treat ourselves and eat out. We debated about where to go until we finally agreed on Red Lobster. A restaurant whose slogan is “where we see food differently”. Being an establishment that prides itself on serving fresh seafood and excellent service every guest should expect this when choosing them as their dining option. However, upon entering the Erie Red Lobster, you are welcomed by a cliché atmosphere, compiled with service that lacks hospitality,…

Long ago there was a great vast paradise where all insects lived. Among these insects were the worms, the most easily frightened, and the most unwilling to try any new things out of all the insects; some may even say that these worms suffered from Neophobia. Everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the worms ate dirt. However they did not eat it happily; it was often that they would complain and say, “I am tired of eating dirt. It’s disgusting.” To which the older much wiser worms would say,…

When one is asked the common question, “are you a dog person or a cat person,” it is assumed that there is only one option. Dogs are trustworthy, devoted, and carefree, while cats are independent, aloof, and sometimes even somber (especially to a “dog person”). To most, the two household pets are polar opposites despite serving the same purpose: being a source of comfort outside usual human interactions. In Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Jeanette’s family has a dog their entire life, which…

The structure of an essay is very important. It helps a reader easily follow an author’s message. The structure of Rachel Carson’s essay was successful in informing its readers of the effect chemicals have on nature and how this would affect the future of the human race. “Chemicals sprayed on croplands or forest or gardens lie long in the soil, entering into living organisms, passing from one to another in a chain of poisoning and death” (Carson 613). This statement explains to the reader the…

was bigger and travelled farther than the nuclear explosion of Hiroshima. This explosion and other explosions that followed sent radioactive fumes and clouds into the atmosphere. These fumes affected the surrounding areas greatly and even reached around the globe, causing acid rain. As a result of this radioactive pollution, three hundred and thirty six thousand people had to be relocated to a safer area (Top 10 Worst Engineering Disasters). A worker died from the explosion, and another worker…
