Invest. Mariñas, VILANOVA DEAROUSA, Spain2 Centro Tecnológico del Mar CETMAR,VIGO, SpainThe effect of emersi<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> thedepurati<strong>on</strong> of DSP toxins DTX2,okadaic acid and c<strong>on</strong>jugated formsof these two compounds, in themussels Mytilus galloprovincialis,was studied. C<strong>on</strong>taminated musselswere placed in tanks with runningseawater and maintained for <strong>on</strong>eweek. On days 2 and 5 of theexperiment a subgroup of musselswas kept out the water for <strong>on</strong>e day,another subgroup for 12 h, and athird subgroup was maintainedsubmerged. The observeddepurati<strong>on</strong> was slow for the threetreatments. Emersi<strong>on</strong> seems tohave no relevant effect <strong>on</strong> DSPtoxin depurati<strong>on</strong>. Notwithstanding,the relative c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> ofc<strong>on</strong>jugated forms was lower in thetwo treatments that involvedemersi<strong>on</strong> than in the <strong>on</strong>e in whichmussels were always submergedand in the initial samples, probablybecause of increased esteraseactivity in the two former treatments.This likely hydrolytic activityproduces an increase of the freeforms of the toxins after <strong>on</strong>e week ofdepurati<strong>on</strong> in the mussels subjectedto emersi<strong>on</strong>.PO.08-10Do toxic Alexandrium minutumstrains affect feeding andsurvival rates of the pelagicmarine copepod Euterpinaacutifr<strong>on</strong>s?Sessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.08 - ToxicologyR Marinho da Costa 1 , LCC Pereira 1 , FFernández 21 UFPA, BRAGANÇA, Brazil2 Universidad de Barcel<strong>on</strong>a, BARCELONA,SpainShort-term feeding and survivalexperiments with three differenttoxic strains of Alexandriumminutum revealed that the copepodEuterpina acutifr<strong>on</strong>s was able toc<strong>on</strong>sume them to a similar extent atwhich they fed <strong>on</strong> the n<strong>on</strong>-toxic andsimilar-sized Scrippsiellatrochoidea. Feeding showed atypical satiati<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se toincreasing food c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s. Fora given food c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>, nosignificant differences between theingesti<strong>on</strong> rates of E. acutifr<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong>the different dinoflagellate strainswere found, except for differencesbetween AL1V and S. trochoidea.C<strong>on</strong>centrated extracts of copepodtissues fed <strong>on</strong> A. minutum revealedthe dominance of N -sulfocarbomoyl toxins. Someg<strong>on</strong>yautoxins were also detected incopepods fed <strong>on</strong> AL1V. At the endof the feeding experiments,organisms were healthy. During the288-h exposure time no differenceswere found between survival ratesof E. acutifr<strong>on</strong>s when fed <strong>on</strong> AL1V(55 %) or AL2V (70 %) nor whenfed AMINAR1 (80 %) or S. T. (95%), but significant differences wereobserved between copepods fedboth AL1V or AL2V with respect toAMINAR1 or S. T. Our resultssuggest that E. acutifr<strong>on</strong>s canc<strong>on</strong>sume A. minutum and act asPSP toxin vector through the foodweb during bloom events.233
