Lethal effect of paralytic shellfish poison (PSP) from Perna viridis, with notes on the distribution of Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressa during a red tide in the Philippines

A study was conducted to determine the potency of the dinoflagellate toxin accumulated in green mussels, Perna viridis, in the Philippines. The results are also presented of a plankton survey undertaken in order to study the distribution and abundance of the red tide causing alga, Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressa.
