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 2006shortest route. On the other hand,the discharge will generate radicalsin water and a bleaching effect canbe expected. There are many i<strong>on</strong>ssuch as nitric acids, phosphoricacid, calcium, magnesium presentat the growth locality of algae, andthe electric c<strong>on</strong>ductivity is thereforerelatively good. By using oz<strong>on</strong>e gasand hydrogen peroxide soluti<strong>on</strong> asreferences, the bleaching effect ofthe radicals <strong>on</strong> algae wasexamined.Different varieties of algae wereexposed to the DC high voltagedischarge pulse and to thec<strong>on</strong>tinuous DC. A bleaching effectwas observed that seems to becaused by the radical inducti<strong>on</strong> inwater and movement of algae tothe electrode. A momentarytemperature rise and temperaturerise around the electrode, causedby the DC high voltage discharge,causes death of all algaeregardless of the variety.PO.09-06First detecti<strong>on</strong> of azaspiracidoutside European coastal watersSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.09 - Toxin synthesis andchemical structure of toxinsHamid Taleb 1 , Paulo Vale 2 , RachidAmanhir 1 , Asia Benhadouch 1 , ReqiaSagou 11 Institut Nati<strong>on</strong>al de Recherche Halieutiq,CASABLANCA, Morocco2 Instituto Naci<strong>on</strong>al de Investigação Agrár,LISBOA, PortugalOutbreaks of DSP have beenrecorded in summer 2004 and 2005at the same regi<strong>on</strong> of the northAtlantic coast of Morocco. DSPpositivesamples of musselsdetected by mouse bioassay werestored for further identificati<strong>on</strong>.Chemical analysis by HPLC/MSc<strong>on</strong>ducted in mussels harvestedfrom Dar Hamra (DH) and OuladGhanem (OG) showed thepresence of OA and DTX2.Analyses carried out in the samesamples revealed also the presenceof three main azaspiracidc<strong>on</strong>geners, namely AZA1, AZA2and AZA3. The discovery of thethree azaspiracid c<strong>on</strong>geners hasbeen c<strong>on</strong>firmed by mass spectracharacteristic of each toxin.Mussel samples harvested in 2004in OG and DH, showed the toxinprofile mainly composed of AZA2(75 and 100%) and AZA1 (15 to25%), but AZA3 was present attrace level. In 2005, the musseltoxin profiles from the same areaswere slightly different and therelative compositi<strong>on</strong> was AZA2 (80to 100%) and AZA1 (0 to 20%), andAZA3 at 10%. In both years AZA2was three to four times higher thanother c<strong>on</strong>geners.PO.07-03<strong>Harmful</strong> algal blooms (HABs) inthe South China Sea and theirrelati<strong>on</strong>s to marine and coastalenvir<strong>on</strong>mentsSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.07 - Ecology andoceanographyDanling Tang 1 , SF Wang 2 , BP Di 2 , JYu 11 Chinese Academy of Sciences,GUANGZHOU, China2 South China Sea Institute of Oceanology,GUANGZHOU, ChinaHABs occur frequently in the SouthChina Sea (SCS), causing hugeec<strong>on</strong>omic losses in recent years.This study analyzed historical HABrecords for the period from 1980 to2003, focusing <strong>on</strong> four majorregi<strong>on</strong>s of the SCS: northern,southern, western and easternregi<strong>on</strong>s.
