Toxicity of adductor muscles from the purple hinge rock scallop (Crassadoma giganthea) along the Pacific coast of North America
1991
Beitler, M.K.
Mouse bioassay results of rock scallops occasionally monitored by official agencies of British Columbia, Washington and California before and/or after algal blooms from 1980-1990 revealed that 24%, 38% and 87% of adductor muscles, whole body and viscera, respectively, were unsafe (larger than or equal to 80 micrograms saxitoxin equivalents/100 g tissue) for human consumption. The safety of adductor muscles could not be predicted from corresponding toxicity levels of the viscera but the absence of detectable toxin could.
