Project
Project code: BfR-SiN-08-1322-363
Contract period: 01.04.2010
- 31.12.2010
Purpose of research: Applied research
Diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) is the most occurring intoxication in Europe after con-sumption of mussels. DSP is caused by marine biotoxins of okadaic acid group. Toxins are produced by Dinoflagellates of Dinophysis and Prorocentrum type. A lot of scientific work was done concerning uptake and transformation of these toxins in mussels but up to now processes are not fully known.Factors influencing enrichment and transformation in mussels can be determined by feeding experiments.
