Abstract
Production of domoic acid (DA), the responsible toxin for amnesic shellfish poisoning, was examined for 44 strains of Pseudo-nitzschia spp. isolated from Ofunato Bay, Japan. Only one strain which was identified as Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries produced DA in a level comparable to Canadian strains. No significant DA was detected in the rest of the strains, indicating that toxic P. multiseries does not bloom in a high density in the bay.Entities:
