Meet Ethan, a final year undergraduate student in marine biology at the University of Plymouth!🥼

Ethan is investigating whether amphipods—specifically Gammarus chevreuxi—can be used to detect toxins from harmful marine algae. Found in brackish waters along the UK and European coasts, these tiny crustaceans could play a crucial role in marine health.

🔬 His research involves growing different strains of the toxic algae Alexandrium minutum to study how their toxicity changes over time. After lysing (breaking down) the algal cells, he will expose G. chevreuxi to the toxins, analysing their impact on the amphipods’ behaviour, stress responses, and nervous systems.

💡 This research has the potential to transform toxin detection in developing nations where high-tech screening methods for harmful algae in seafood are limited. If G. chevreuxi responds to these toxins, it could provide a cost-effective, accessible testing method—reducing economic losses from contaminated shellfish and preventing health risks associated with algal toxins.
