Development of common toxic phytoplankton species and contents. ofphycotoxins in tissues of scallop Mizuhopectenyessoensis (Jay) in the coastal Sakhalin waters
In 2003-2005, development of common microalgae - producers of ASP-, PSP-, and DSP-toxins have been studied along the Sakhalin coast. It was established that some scallops’ samples had an excess level of toxins during and after vegetation of species-producers: ASP-toxin in muscle and PSP-toxin in mantle. A positive reaction on DSP-toxin was also observed for several scallop specimens.
