| Additional information: | The oficial detection method is by mouse bioassay: Yasumoto et al., Seafood toxins, 1984, 207-214.Some samples are analyzed by HPLC: Lee et al., Agric. Biol. Chem., 1987, 51, 877. | |||||||||||
| Economic losses: | Not evaluated | |||||||||||
| Management decision: | Harvesting was closed in culture areas affected. Wild mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) are used as bioindicator for infaunal molluscs, then when assay are possitive for this specie, infaunal molluscs are precautionary closed in that area, until samples | |||||||||||
| Additional harmful effect information: | Closures due to the presence of toxicity in molluscs is usual in the area and resource exploitation strategies allows to face these closures without great problems. | |||||||||||
