CARLESDE LA RÀPITA, Spain2 Instituto Español de Oceanografía, VIGO,SpainIn July 2005, a bloom of thedinoflagellate Protoceratiumreticulatum at cell c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>levels of 1600 cells/L was detectedin Alfacs Bay, in c<strong>on</strong>juncti<strong>on</strong> withthe presence of Dinophysissacculus.Positive DSP mouse bioassaymeasurements indicated thepresence of diarrhetic toxins inmussels. Analytical procedureswere optimised and applied tophytoplankt<strong>on</strong> and to musselextracts. Mussel samples were firstextracted in methanol/H2O (80:20),further percolated through anoctadecylsilica cartridge, derivatizedusing the dienophile fluorescencereagent, DMEQ-TAD, andsubsequently analysed by liquidchromatography coupled tofluorescence detecti<strong>on</strong> (LC-FD).C<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong> levels of yessotoxinin mussels about 0.3 to 1.0 µg/kgwere detected during this event.Phytoplankt<strong>on</strong> samples wereextracted by s<strong>on</strong>icati<strong>on</strong> withmethanol, followed by a clean-upstep. Okadaic acid c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>levels in these samples were alsostudied to c<strong>on</strong>firm the toxic effectsrecorded al<strong>on</strong>g theProtoceratium/Dinophysis bloom.Evaluati<strong>on</strong> of cell-based toxicity offield samples by estimati<strong>on</strong> of cellviability, IC 50 and morphologicaleffects was studied and comparedto the analytical measurements.Protoceratium reticulatum waspreviously detected inphytoplankt<strong>on</strong> samples from theEbro Delta embayments in summer2001, and c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong> levels ofyessotoxin and homoyessotoxinwere then c<strong>on</strong>firmed in musselsamples.PO.13-45The influence of Pseud<strong>on</strong>itzschiaaustralis blooms inshellfish domoic acidaccumulati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the Andalusiancoast (southern Spain)Sessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.13 - Regi<strong>on</strong>al eventsLuz Mamán, D Jaén, R Fernández, MAOcaña, l Fernández, I MarquezLaboratorio C<strong>on</strong>trol Recursos Pesqueros,HUELVA, SpainDiatoms of the genus Pseud<strong>on</strong>itzschiahave been detected at theAndalusian coast since them<strong>on</strong>itoring program began in 1996.Some species from this genus areharmful because of the producti<strong>on</strong>of the toxin domoic acid. During2006, samples from the m<strong>on</strong>itoringprogram were analysed with LMand EM, allowing identificati<strong>on</strong> ofPseudo-nitzschia australis as themost abundant Pseudo-nitzschiaspecies. This event resulted inmarked toxin accumulati<strong>on</strong> inseveral bivalve molluscs from theMediterranean coast.231
