Abstract :
Blue mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) collected in the main producing areas in the seawater off the coast of Emilia Romagna (Italy) have been investigated for paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). Individual toxins were determined in hepatopancreas of mussels using a highperformance liquid chromatographic procedure employing pre-chromatographic oxidation of the toxins to form fluorescent derivatives. The results demonstrated the presence of gonyautoxin 2 and 3 in the sample. The toxicity level is very low, but this detection of PSP in mussels warns of potential PSP problems in the Adriatic Sea.
