“…Gymnodimine A (2) was found first in New Zealand oysters in 1994 (Seki et al, 1995;Stewart et al, 1997), and since then, it has been detected in several other locations around the world, and supposedly produced by K. selliformis. The hydroxylated analogues, gymnodimine B (3) and C (4), have also been isolated from K. selliformis (Miles et al, 2000(Miles et al, , 2003. These gymnodimines can be present in filter-feeding shellfish throughout the year, and have been detected in large quantities in coastal waters of New Zealand (Stirling, 2001) and Tunisia (Bire et al, 2002;Ben Naila et al, 2012) after prolonged blooms of K. selliformis.…”
