“…Thus, invertebrates have been broadly classified as "fast" or "slow" DA-depurators (Blanco et al, 2002a,b;Basti et al, 2018). Larger scallops, such as King scallops Pecten maximus (Blanco et al, 2002a;García-Corona et al, 2022) and giant scallops Placopecten magellanicus (Gilgan, 1990;Haya et al, 1991), some big-clams, such as razor clams Siliqua patula (Horner et al, 1993;Dusek Jennings et al, 2020), and some cephalopod mollusk such as Octopus vulgaris (Costa et al, 2004) and Eledone moschata (Costa et al, 2005b) as well as the common cuttlefish Sepia officinalis (Costa et al, 2005a;Ben haddouch et al, 2015) are capable of accumulating high amounts of DA, principally in the digestive gland, and require from many months to a couple of years to depurate the toxin from their tissues. Therefore, these species have been considered as slow DA-depurators.…”
