PSPSAFE

PSP Safe is a four-year DAFM (Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine) funded project from 2021-2025. It is a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Marine Institute, the Atlantic Technological University of Galway, and the University College of Dublin. It addresses recent concerns about the increasing presence of the highly potent neurotoxins known as Paralytic Shellfish Toxins (PSTs) in Irish shellfish, produced mainly by dinoflagellates of the genus Alexandrium.
