During the monitoring programme of harmful algal blooms established along the south Atlantic coast of Morocco, a bimonthly determination of harmful algae and phycotoxins analysis in Perna perna was carried out from May 2003 to December 2004. Results of mouse bioassay (in organs and whole flesh) showed a seasonal evolution of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxin. The mussel's contamination was associated with the occurrence in water of Alexandrium minutum. The PSP toxin profile obtained with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC/FD) revealed the dominance of gonyautoxins GTX2 and GTX3 and a minority of GTX1, GTX4 and saxitoxin (STX). This profile explains that the toxicity was mainly associated with A. minutum.
在摩洛哥南大西洋沿岸开展的有害藻华监测项目中,于2003年5月至2004年12月对翡翠贻贝中的有害藻类进行了双月测定,并分析了其中的藻毒素。小鼠生物测定(器官和整个肌肉)结果显示麻痹性贝类毒素(PSP)存在季节性变化。贻贝的污染与微小亚历山大藻在水中的出现有关。通过高效液相色谱法(HPLC/FD)获得的PSP毒素谱显示,膝沟藻毒素GTX2和GTX3占主导地位,而GTX1、GTX4和石房蛤毒素(STX)含量较少。这种毒素谱解释了毒性主要与微小亚历山大藻有关。
