Physiological adaptations and strategies for toxins elimination by bivalves living with harmful algal blooms

Bivalves play a marked role in coastal marine ecosystems, impacting primary productivity with a strong top-down control on phytoplankton communities. In addition, they are an important food source for higher trophic levels, including humans. However, bivalves can be impaired by several external fact...
