Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The distribution of benthic Ostreopsis species is poorly known in the Moroccan coasts. The current study is aiming to investigate: i) the distribution of Ostreopsis spp. cells on macroalgae and in the seawater column of the Cape Ghir area (North-West of Agadir) during the summer season of Ostreopsis from July 15 to November 17, 2020; ii) the toxic profile at the level of the three matrices (benthic Ostreopsis attached to macroalgae, Ostreopsis in the water column and mussels) via chemical analysis using mass spectrometry. A taxonomic study of Ostreopsis spp. was carried out using the light and inverted optical microscopes. Chemical analysis showed the presence of ovatoxins (OvTX-A and OvTX-B) in Ostreopsis samples in low quantities, in the order of fg.cell −1 and at levels below the limit of quantification (0.04 μ g.mL −1 ) in mussels. Morphological observations showed that the cells were ovoid and flattened, large, and ventrally pointed with a dorsoventral diameter (DV) and width (W) of 57- 84μm and 33- 52μm, respectively, and a dorsoventral/anteroposterior diameter (DV/AP) of about 3.23.
