This book was released on 2018 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning Toxins (DSTs) are produced by the marine dinoflagellate, Dinophysis. DSTs can bioaccumulate in shellfish and cause gastrointestinal illness when humans consume high levels of this toxinches Although not regulated in the U.S., recent studies in Washington, Texas, and New York suggest DSTs may be widespread throughout U.S. coastal waters. This study describes a four-year time series (2013-2016) of Dinophysis concentration and DST level in California mussels (Mytilus californianus) from Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf (SCMW) in Monterey Bay, California. Results show a maximum Dinophysis concentration of 9,404 cells/L during this study and suggest Dinophysis persists as a member of the background phytoplankton community throughout the year. DSTs in California mussels were found in persistent low levels throughout the course of this study, and exceeded the FDA action level of 160 ng/g 19 out of 192 weeks sampled. Dinophysis concentrations alone are a positive but weak predictor of DST level in California mussels, and basic environmental variables (temperature, salinity, and nutrients) do not sufficiently explain variation in Dinophysis concentration at SCMW. Overall, this study demonstrates that Dinophysis concentrations on the central coast of California, at SCMW, are producing DSTs that accumulate in local shellfish throughout the year, occasionally reaching levels of concern.

Download or read book Dinophysis Toxins Distribution Fate in Shellfish and Impacts written by Beatriz Reguera and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several species of Dinophysis produce one or two groups of lipophilic toxins: okadaic acid (OA) and its derivatives; or the dinophysistoxins (DTXs) (also known as diarrhetic shellfish poisons or DSP toxins) and pectenotoxins (PTXs). DSP toxins are potent inhibitors of protein phosphatases, causing gastrointestinal intoxication in consumers of contaminated seafood. Forty years after the identification of Dinophysis as the causative agent of DSP in Japan, contamination of filter feeding shellfish exposed to Dinophysis blooms is recognized as a problem worldwide. DSP events affect public health and cause considerable losses to the shellfish industry. Costly monitoring programs are implemented in regions with relevant shellfish production to prevent these socioeconomic impacts. Harvest closures are enforced whenever toxin levels exceed regulatory limits (RLs). Dinophysis species are kleptoplastidic dinoflagellates; they feed on ciliates (Mesodinium genus) that have previously acquired plastids from cryptophycean (genera Teleaulax, Plagioselmis, and Geminigera) nanoflagellates. The interactions of Dinophysis with different prey regulate their growth and toxin production. When Dinophysis cells are ingested by shellfish, their toxins are partially biotransformed and bioaccumulated, rendering the shellfish unsuitable for human consumption. DSP toxins may also affect shellfish metabolism. This book covers diverse aspects of the abovementioned topics—from the laboratory culture of Dinophysis and the kinetics of uptake, transformation, and depuration of DSP toxins in shellfish to Dinophysis population dynamics, the monitoring and regulation of DSP toxins, and their impact on the shellfish industry in some of the aquaculture regions that are traditionally most affected, namely, northeastern Japan, western Europe, southern Chile, and New Zealand.
