Modelling toxin producing microalgae and the emergence of ciguatoxins in fish in Europe under climate change scenarios

The main objective is to contribute to the prediction of toxin producing microalgae associated to ciguatera and the emergence of CTX in fish in Europe from a modelling approach, under climate change scenarios. The areas of study will be the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands focusing on environmental data, data on the microalgal communities and fish, and on the presence and fate of toxins in the ecosystems. The data obtained will contribute with the other grants to complement the characterization of Ciguatera risk in Europe.
