INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF HARMFUL ALGAE12 th <str<strong>on</strong>g>Internati<strong>on</strong>al</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>Harmful</strong> <strong>Algae</strong>, Copenhagen, Denmark, 4-8 September 2006valve gape. Bioassays werec<strong>on</strong>ducted to test survival of larvalshellfish exposed to A. m<strong>on</strong>ilatumas whole, unc<strong>on</strong>strained cells, cellsheld in dialysis tubing, or s<strong>on</strong>icatedcells. S<strong>on</strong>icated A. m<strong>on</strong>ilatumcaused a significant decrease inlarval survival, in comparis<strong>on</strong> tosurvival of the c<strong>on</strong>trol larvae thatwere tested with n<strong>on</strong>toxicAlexandrium tamarense. Overall,these data indicate that A.m<strong>on</strong>ilatum blooms can adverselyaffect shellfish survival by reducingclearance rate and valve gape,affecting food intake, and inducinglarval mortality.PO.13-53Early detecti<strong>on</strong> and intensivem<strong>on</strong>itoring during an unusualtoxic bloom of Gymnodiniumcatenatum advected into theGalician Rías (NW, Spain)Sessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.13 - Regi<strong>on</strong>al eventsY Pazos 1 , A Moroño 1 , J Triñanes 2 , MDoval 1 , P M<strong>on</strong>tero 1 , MG Vilarinho 3 , MTMoita 31 INTECMAR, PONTEVEDRA, Spain2 Universidad de Santiago de Compostela,SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain3 IPIMAR, LISBOA, PortugalCooperati<strong>on</strong> between Galician andPortuguese m<strong>on</strong>itoring programsallowed an early alert of aGymnodinium catenatum bloom inthe Galician Rías a m<strong>on</strong>th beforethe PSP toxin accumulati<strong>on</strong> inmussels. Both programs detectedisolated chains of G. catenatumfrom July 2005. The Portuguesem<strong>on</strong>itoring system warned abouthigh c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s of G. catenatum<strong>on</strong> the Lisb<strong>on</strong> shelf in Septemberand the progressive increase in thec<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s northward thereafter.From the near real-time sea surfacetemperature fields, it was inferredthat a northward coastal currentwas present during this period.On October 24th, a str<strong>on</strong>g-downwelling (Iw < -1000 m3·s-1·km 1 ) event occurred and surfacewaters warmer (>16.5 ºC) and lesssaline (35.2) flowed into the Rías,advecting a G. catenatumpopulati<strong>on</strong> (max. 1.7 x10 5 cells·L -1 ).Data from a lagrangian drifter(NOAA/CoastWatch) c<strong>on</strong>firmed thepresence of a northward coastalcurrent (Vel ~0.2-0.6 m·s -1 ) <strong>on</strong> thesedates.
