Back in the summers of 2018 and 2019, the shellfish industry in Washington state was rocked by mass mortalities of its crops. Now, 91自拍ers think they have figured out why: high concentrations of yessotoxinss, which are produced by blooms of certain phytoplankton. The 91自拍ers鈥� findings were published last month in the open-access journal Harmful Algae.

Its 283-fold increase in abundance since the 1970s could have implications for the health of humans and marine mammals, which both can inadvertently eat the worm.
