“…Such models can be constructed for a wide variety of temperate and tropical shellfish. In particular, the information on the anatomical partitioning of toxins in different body compartments is especially relevant, because only specific body parts (e.g., the adductor muscle) are consumed in certain shellfish [22,23]. The biokinetic model developed here makes it possible to calculate PST concentrations in individual tissue compartments as well as the whole mussel based on estimates of the density and toxin load of the dinoflagellates in the water over time.…”

“…The preferential accumulation of paralytic toxins in some organs (digestive gland, kidneys) could account for this apparent paradox. This is particularly the case for pectinids, as the low correlation between adductor muscle and digestive gland toxicities makes it difficult to predict whether the meat is safe or not for human consumption (Beitler, 1991;Lassus et al, 1992;Cembella et al, 1994).…”

“…Rock scallop (C. gigantea), which belongs to Mollusca, Lamellibranchia, Pterioida, was native to North America Pacific coast (Beitler et al 1991). There are several valuable characteristics making rock scallop favored in the international market, including fast growth, strong resistance and delicious meat.…”
