Abstract
Specimens of a xanthid crab Atergatis floridus were collected from two adjacent areas in Kabira Bay, Ishigaki Island, Okinawa and compared with respect to toxicity and toxin composition. 'Reef specimens', which were collected from the reefs of Kabira Bay, showed an average toxicity score of 380 MU/g as paralytic shellfish poison, and a toxin composition consisting mainly of saxitoxin and a neosaxitoxin-related substance. On the other hand, 'Kojima specimens', which were collected from a small island in the bay, showed an average toxicity of 38 MU/g as tetrodotoxin, and a toxin composition consisting mainly of tetrodotoxin and related substance(s).Entities:
