Alberta produced a report that provides a snapshot of the status of more than 2800 wild species in the province, entitled The General Status of Alberta Wild Species 2005. The report contains assessments for 2811 species under 10 categories : birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish, butterflies, gastropods(e. g., snails), bivalves(e. g., clams), odonates(e. g., dragonflies) and vascular plants(e. g., wild roses). These assessments are based on criteria that include species’ population size, distribution and trends, and threats to habitats. Assessment information is categorized into meaningful groupings, which helps the province identify species that need attention. Species’ status data are used by provincial wildlife and fisheries biologists to plan and set priorities for species’ management activities. These activities may include identifying habitat, monitoring survival and identifying threats.

Maybury & Evans (1994) suggested that some Carboniferous fossils previously identified as phylloid ’"algae" (alga - term often used by Palaeozoic palaeontologists to refer to any sessile organism that can’t be made to fit anywhere else) might be xenophyophores, citing similar in structure and form, and a higher concentration of barium in the fossils than the surrounding matrix.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Toxicology
DEF

A pathological condition in humans caused by the consumption of certain marine mussels or clams that have fed on planktonic dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Gonyaulax. The mussels or clams become contaminated with a neurotoxin produced by the dinoflagellates, and subsequent consumption by humans results in respiratory or gastrointestinal distress. The condition occurs in conjunction with the phenomenon known as the Red Tide, a bloom of dinoflagellate population in marine waters.

CONT

Mussels were a traditional food source for the coastal First Nations peoples, but naturally-occurring plankton containing toxins can make eating mussels deadly. Paralytic shellfish poisoning can occur in any bivalve or hinge-shelled animals. Only eat bivalves from areas approved by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

CONT

There are several types of illnesses, caused by marine biotoxins, that are connected with the consumption of contaminated shellfish. They include Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP), Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP), and Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP).

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

Les moules étaient un aliment traditionnel des Premières nations sur la côte, mais le plancton naturel qui contient des toxines peut en faire un aliment fatal. L'empoisonnement marin paralysant peut se produire dans tout mollusque bivalve ou à coquille à charnière. Ne mangez que ceux qui viennent de régions approuvées par Pêches et Océans Canada.

CONT

Plusieurs types de maladies, causées par des biotoxines marines, résultent de la consommation de mollusques ou de crustacés contaminés, notamment l'intoxication par phycotoxine paralysante (IPP), l'intoxication par phycotoxine amnestique (IPA) et l'intoxication par phycotoxine diarrhéique (IPD).

CONT

La marée rouge est une prolifération d'algues qui crée des conditions potentiellement mortelles pour l'être humain. Lorsqu'une marée rouge survient, on relève une explosion de microorganismes appelés dinoflagellés qui produisent l'un des plus puissants poisons naturels au monde. Les mollusques bivalves (coques, moules, pétoncles, huîtres et palourdes) absorbent cette toxine lorsqu'ils consomment les algues en question. La toxine reste dans l'organisme des mollusques bivalves longtemps après que les conditions aient changé et il est impossible de savoir quels mollusques ont été contaminés. Il n'existe pas d'antidote à l'intoxication paralysante par les mollusques.
