This study reports the first detection of the marine neurotoxin pinnatoxin-G (PnTX-G) in clams collected in the northwestern Adriatic Sea (Italy). It also represents the first report of the potential toxin-producing dinoflagellate, , in Italian seas. This result, from the coasts of the Emilia-Romagna Region, indicates a successful colonization process, reflecting conditions in France where was initially documented. In this case, the concentration of PnTXs was very low, making further sampling necessary to fully understand the extent of the phenomenon. Discussions on the need to obtain more data to support a proper risk assessment and the need to implement a monitoring program that includes emerging marine biotoxins are also included.
本研究首次在意大利西北部亚得里亚海（意大利）采集的贻贝类中检测到海洋神经毒素 pinnatoxin-G (PnTX-G)。这也是意大利海域首次报道潜在产毒甲藻, 。这一结果来自艾米利亚-罗马涅地区的海岸，表明成功实现了生物定植，反映了法国最初记录到 的情况。在这种情况下，PnTXs 的浓度非常低，因此需要进一步采样以充分了解该现象的程度。文中还讨论了获取更多数据以支持适当风险评估的必要性，以及实施包括新兴海洋生物毒素在内的监测计划的必要性。
