Winter distribution of toxic, potentially toxic phytoplankton, and shellfish toxins in fjords and channels of the Aysén region, Chile
Abstract The Aysén region (43°-47ºS) has been prone to intensive summer blooms of toxic microalgae and complex toxin profiles in the shellfish. However, their winter distribution, toxin profile, and resting cysts in sediments are poorly known. Frequently detected toxins are: Paralytic Shellfish Toxi...
