These species aremorphologically similar and can beidentified by small differences in thethecal plates using epifluorescencemicroscopy. Blooms and mixedpopulati<strong>on</strong>s of different Alexandriumspecies (toxic and n<strong>on</strong>-toxic) arefrequently observed at inshoreareas of the NW MediterraneanSea. Until now, ten Alexandriumspecies have been identified in thisarea, either in the water column orin the sediment, which corresp<strong>on</strong>dsto <strong>on</strong>e third of the species describedfor this genus. We present thetemporal and spatial distributi<strong>on</strong> ofseven Alexandrium species (A.minutum, A. catenella, A. taylori, A.pseudog<strong>on</strong>yaulax, A. tamutum, A.insuetum, A. peruvianum) based <strong>on</strong>samples collected during six years(2000 to 2005) <strong>on</strong> surface water ofseveral harbours and beaches. Cellc<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s of the menti<strong>on</strong>edspecies are presented together withdata of the relevant physical andchemical variables.PO.15-08The use of SPATT.

Data from spatial and timeintegratedsampling of disks withsubsequent extracti<strong>on</strong> and MRMLC/MS analysis for AZAs, PTX-2s,OA/DTXs, and YTX are presented.Profiles of toxins in the disks andblue mussels (M. edulis) arecompared with the abundance oftoxin producing algal species.Toxins accumulated in the disksand, generally, their c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>sfollowed the abundance of the algalspecies from which they hadoriginated. However, largevariati<strong>on</strong>s in toxin profiles wereobserved during mixed blooms ofDinophysis spp. At Flødevigen,mussels and disks c<strong>on</strong>tainedsubstantial levels of DTX-2throughout the trial; at Sogndal, <strong>on</strong>lytrace amounts could be detected inthe disks from and DTX-2 could notbe detected in the mussels.
