Abstract
The seasonal accumulation of the amnesic toxin domoic acid (DA) in the tissues of two commercial species of bivalves from Vostok Bay (the Sea of Japan) was assessed for the first time. The concentration of domoic acid in the tissues of the Pacific mussel Mytilus trossulus varied from 0.003 to 0.1 mg/kg during the period between October and February, and in the scallop Mizuhopecten yessoensis it varied from 0.003 to 0.09 mg/kg during the period between January and March. The maximum concentration of domoic acid in both species of mollusks was recorded in January. The results indicate the need for year-round monitoring of amnesic toxin concentrations in bivalves from Vostok Bay.
