Abstract
⺠Azadinium spinosum was cultured and fed to blue mussels (Mytilus edulis). ⺠Mussels accumulated azaspiracids in less than 6 h to greater than legal limit. ⺠Biotransformation of algal toxins into shellfish metabolites was also rapid with >25% metabolites observed after 6 h. ⺠Detoxification speed was comparable with other lipophilic toxins (half-life ca. 11 days). ⺠Azaspiracids-6, -17 and -19 should also be considered in legislation.
