   Brevetoxin — an elusive toxin in New Zealand waters

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: P McNabb L Rhodes J Adamson P Holland

   Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) was used to test 34 microalgal isolates, all known or reported to be brevetoxin producers. Only Karenia brevis strains, imported from the USA, produced brevetoxin. In contrast, all isolates cultured in New Zealand proved non-toxic...

   Accumulation of brevetoxins by passive sampling devices

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: D Shea P Tester J Cohen S Kibler S Varnam

   We report on initial investigations into the use of polymer-based passive sampling devices for the chronic time-integrated measure of brevetoxins in natural waters. Polyethylene membranes readily accumulated brevetoxins, but reached steady state within a few days, likely owing to surface...
