In late February 2016, a harmful algal bloom (HAB) of Alexandrium catenella was detected in southern Chiloé, leading to the banning shellfish harvesting an extended geographical area (~500 km). On April 24, this produced massive beaching (an accumulation on beach surface dead or impaired organisms which were drifted ashore) surf clams Mesodesma donacium Cucao Bay, Chiloé. To determine effect paralytic poisoning (PSP) toxins M. donacium, samples taken from during third May 3, 2016. Whole...
Galicia is an area with a strong mussel aquaculture industry in addition to other important bivalve mollusc fisheries. Between 2014 and 2017, 18,862 samples were analyzed for EU regulated marine lipophilic toxins. Okadaic acid (OA) was the most prevalent toxin only single that produced harvesting closures. Toxin concentrations raft mussels generally higher than those recorded bivalves, justifying use of this species as indicator. The Rías Pontevedra Muros ones affected by OA DTX2 Ría Ares...
For the first time, pinnatoxins have been detected in shellfish from Atlantic and Cantabrian coasts of Spain. High sensitivity LC-MS/MS systems were used to monitor all currently known (A-H). Pinnatoxin G (PnTX G) was most prevalent toxin group, but its metabolite PnTX A has also found at much lower levels. No trend concentration area, a hotspot Ría de Camariñas identified. The maximum concentrations did not exceed 15 µg·kg-1, being, cases, below 3 µg·kg-1. highest wild (intertidal)...
The knowledge of the routes excretion toxins accumulated by molluscs is a key step in designing methods that accelerate depuration. In this work, route, mussels and cockles, main diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) Europe (okadaic acid dinophysistoxin-2) after natural intoxication were studied. During depuration, amounts free their derivatives quantified bivalves, faeces, water. Most (>98%) excreted through faeces as acyl (most likely 7-O-acyl esters), independent ratio between these...
Paralytic shellfish poisoning is an important concern for mollusk fisheries, aquaculture, and public health. In Galicia, NW Iberian Peninsula, such toxicity has been monitored a long time using mouse bioassay. Therefore, little information exists about the precise toxin analogues their possible transformations in diverse species environments. After change European PSP reference method, refinement of Lawrence method was developed, achieving 75% reduction chromatogram run time. Since beginning...
