| Abstract: | In April 1995, an unusual large-scale red tide of Heterosigma akashiwo (Hada) Hada occurred, causing massive fish kills in Kagoshima Bay, Japan. Four neurotoxic components, HaTx-i , HaTx-ii a, HaTx-ii b and HaTx-iii , which corresponded to brevetoxin components. PbTx-2. PbTx-9, PbTx-3 and oxidized PbTx-2, were inferred from analysis of Heterosigma red tide toxins on TLC and HPLC. |
