Lipophilic Toxin Profile in Mytilus galloprovincialis during Episodes of Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP) in the N.E. Adriatic Sea in 2006

For the first time a complete analysis of the toxin profile of Croatian mussels has been carried out using the LC-MS/MS technique which is characterised by high sensitivity and specificity. The obtained results showed OA as the main toxin contaminating Croatian mussels at that time. High concentrations of OA in mussels during the DSP toxic episode showed that a positive mouse bioassay could be fully attributed to the OA. Furthermore, the presence of only OA at concentrations which could endanger human health suggests D. fortii as the main organism responsible for the toxic event that occurred in Lim Bay. The presence of Gymnodimine and spirolides in Croatian mussel has been detected for the first time while the presence of yessotoxin and pectenotoxin-2 is confirmed.
