Spatial Variability and Seasonal Patterns of Co-Occurrence between two Marine Biotoxins in the Puget Sound and Implications for Public Health Management
… State. However, the accumulation of marine algal biotoxins in shellfish can pose severe health risks to shellfish consumers. While Paralytic Shellfish Toxins (PSTs) have been well monitored in the state for decades, Diarrhetic Shellfish Toxins (DSTs) were only recently detected in Washington but …
