Trends of natural accumulation and detoxification of paralytic shellfish poison in two bivalves from the Northwest Patagonian inland sea

The accumulation of marine toxins in aquatic filterers is a recurrent event that imposes serious risks to human health and important economic losses. While direct monitoring of seafood toxicity will remain as a priority for human health protection, a better understanding of toxin accumulation and de...
