OCCURRENCE OF YESSOTOXIN (YTX) IN THE COASTAL WATERS OF THE EASTERN-MID ADRIATIC SEA (CROATIA)

This paper reports the first occurrence of yessotoxin (YTX) in the shellfish Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819), collected from a localized site in the Trogir bay, in the costal area of the eastern-mid Adriatic Sea (Croatia). Mussel samples were collected in the summer of 2006 from July to Oc...

Zusammenfassung:This paper reports the first occurrence of yessotoxin (YTX) in the shellfish Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819), collected from a localized site in the Trogir bay, in the costal area of the eastern-mid Adriatic Sea (Croatia). Mussel samples were collected in the summer of 2006 from July to October, twice a month. Analysis of shellfish toxic-ity was performed by mouse bioassay, HPLC and ELISA. The obtained results demonstrate the predominant presence of YTX. Phytoplankton analysis of sea water samples, collected in the investigated area, showed the occurrence of two potential sources of YTX, Lingulodinium polyedrum and Gonyaulax spinifera.
