Abstract
A monitoring program aimed at detecting marine biotoxins in coastal bivalves (Mytilus galloprovincialis)of central Adriatic Sea was carried out in the years 2006-2009. The presence of DiarrhoeticShellfish Poisoning and Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning toxins was assessed by the MouseBioassay, as established by the Italian Decree of the Ministry of Health of May, 16, 2002, whereasthe Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning toxins were detected by HPLC. No biotoxins were determinedin all the samples. Since the number of the examined samples was directly proportional to thenumber of shellfish aquaculture plans located in Abruzzo and Molise regions, these results providean estimate of the possible shellfish contamination in the considered area.[...]I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
