Status of Baltic grey seals: Population assessment and extinction risk (2013, background): “However, all populations will eventually experience dramatic declines caused by variations in food supply (Kjellqwist et al. 1995), fatal poisoning (Geraci et al. 1989, O’Shea et al. 1991, Scholin et al. 2000), or epidemic diseases (Dietz et al. 1989, Heide-Jørgensen et al. 1992a,b).”

Pseudo-nitzschia physiological ecology, phylogeny, toxicity, monitoring and impacts on ecosystem health (2012, background): “Marine animals, e.g. sea lions, sea otters and marine birds, have also been found to accumulate DA, leading to widespread transfer through marine food webs (e.g. Scholin et al., 2000; Lefebvre et al., 2002; Bargu and Silver, 2003; Bargu et al., 2008, 2010; Kvitek et al., 2008).”
CONFIRMATION OF DOMOIC ACID PRODUCTION BY PSEUDO‐NITZSCHIA AUSTRALIS (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE) ISOLATED FROM IRISH WATERS 1 (2002, background): “In 1999, P. australis was found to be responsible for the deaths of over 400 California sea lions ( Zalophus californianus Lesson) (Scholin et al. 2000).”
Ecological and toxicological effects of inorganic nitrogen pollution in aquatic ecosystems: A global assessment. (2006, background): “…birds and mammals, in some cases causing significant mortality events in cormorants, pelicans and sea lions (Work et al., 1992; Sierra Beltran et al., 1997; Scholin et al., 2000; Pan et al., 2001; Gulland et al., 2002; Landsberg, 2002; Lefebvre et al., 2002; Costa et al., 2004; Busse et al., 2006).”
Application of Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Tracking (SPATT) for field detection of the hydrophilic phycotoxins domoic acid and saxitoxin in coastal California (2010, background): “…a monitoring agency risks either increased incidence of false alarm or must further invest in, or develop, specialized tools required for species-level identification of these groups (Mackenzie et al. 2004; Mackenzie 2010; Miller and Scholin 1996, 1998, 2000; Rundberget et al. 2009).”
Thin layers and camouflage: hidden Pseudo-nitzschia spp. (Bacillariophyceae) populations in a fjord in the San Juan Islands, Washington, USA (2002, background): “Since Pseudo-nitzschia spp. are pennate diatoms, this is not surprising: Although Pseudonitzschia spp. are considered planktonic, most pennate diatoms live on or in the sediments or attached to a substrate such as another organism, rock, sand grains or pilings (e.g. Round et al. 1990).”
Environmental conditions and phytoplankton dynamics associated with Pseudo-nitzschia abundance and domoic acid in the Juan de Fuca eddy (2004, background): “Its blooms have been detrimental to marine mammal and bird populations, and have caused significant economic losses due to their impact on the shell- fish and planktivorous fish industries (Fritz et al. 1992, Horner et al. 1993, Beltran et al. 1997, Scholin et al. 2000, Wekell et al. 2002).”

Marine Mammals as Sentinel Species for Oceans and Human Health (2011, background): “Recurrent outbreaks of DA poisoning along the California coast have caused stranding of several thousand sea lions, and DA is now viewed as a major cause of reproductive failure.(36,52,83,89,203) The primary peracute microscopic lesions of DA toxicity in adult sea lions are microvesicular hydropic d”
Can People Value Protection against Invasive Marine Species? Evidence from a Joint TC–CV Survey in the Netherlands (2004, background): “Another toxic micro-alga, Gymnodinium catenatum, produces potent neurotoxins that accumulate through the food webs, which has led to the death of marine life in the North Sea (Nehring 1995, 1998; Hallegraeff and Fraga 1998; Scholin et al. 2000).”
The alternation of different morphotypes in the seasonal cycle of the toxic diatom Pseudo-nitzschia galaxiae (2005, background): “…molecular investigations onPseudo-nitzschiaintensified following the discovery of domoic acid (DA) (Bates et al., 1989), a potent neurotoxic aminoacid that can be accumulated through the trophic web and cause damage to humans, marine mammals and birds (Scholin et al., 2000; Shumway et al., 2003).”
