dc.description.abstractDuring official shellfish control for the presence of marine biotoxins in Greece in year 2012, a series of unexplained positive mouse bioassays (MBA) for lipophilic toxins with nervous symptomatology prior to mice death was observed in mussels from Vistonikos Bay–Lagos, Rodopi. This atypical toxicity coincided with (a) absence or low levels of regulated and some non-regulated toxins in mussels and (b) the simultaneous presence of the potentially toxic microalgal species Prorocentrum minimum at levels up to 1.89 × 103 cells/L in the area’s seawater. Further analyses by different MBA protocols indicated that the unknown toxin was hydrophilic, whereas UPLC-MS/MS analyses revealed the presence of tetrodotoxins (TTXs) at levels up to 222.9 μg/kg. Reviewing of official control data from previous years (2006–2012) identified a number of sample cases with atypical positive to asymptomatic negative MBAs for lipophilic toxins in different Greek production areas, coinciding with periods of P. minimum blooms. UPLC-MS/MS analysis of retained sub-samples from these cases revealed that TTXs were already present in Greek shellfish since 2006, in concentrations ranging between 61.0 and 194.7 μg/kg. To our knowledge, this is the earliest reported detection of TTXs in European bivalve shellfish, while it is also the first work to indicate a possible link between presence of the toxic dinoflagellate P. minimum in seawater and that of TTXs in bivalves. Confirmed presence of TTX, a very heat-stable toxin, in filter-feeding mollusks of the Mediterranean Sea, even at lower levels to those inducing symptomatology to humans, indicates that this emerging risk should be seriously taken into account by the EU to protect the health of shellfish consumers
dc.description.sponsorshipThe research leading to USC results has received funding from the following FEDER cofunded-grants. From CDTI and Technological Funds, supported by Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, AGL2012-40185-CO2-01 and Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Ordenación Universitaria, GRC2013-016, and through Axencia Galega de Innovación, Spain, ITC-20133020 SINTOX. In addition from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme managed by REA—Research Executive Agency (FP7/2007–2013) under grant agreement 315285 CIGUATOOLS and 312184 PHARMASEA. Inés Rodriguez is supported by a fellowship from Subprograma de Formación de Personal Investigador (AGL2012-40185-CO2-01), Spain. In depth investigation of the toxic episodes leading to the results and publication of the present work was undertaken by the Greek National Reference Laboratory of Marine Biotoxins (NRLMB) to fulfill the requirements of EU Regulation 178/2002/EC (Articles 6 and 7) regarding risk analysis and communication and scientific information needed for risk assessment and EU Regulation 882/2004/EC (article 7) with regard to transparency and information to the public. Collaboration of all the staff of the NRLMB is greatly appreciated. Thanks are also expressed to all the Greek regional veterinary services for their contribution to the shellfish samplings and for provision of the seawater analyses results for the presence of potentially toxic microalgae. The use of cell counts’ data within the period 2006–2009 and 2012 regarding P. minimum presence in seawater, derived from the Greek “National Programme for Monitoring of Bivalve Molluscs’ Production Areas for the presence of Marine Biotoxins” and conducted by the Laboratory Unit of Toxic Marine Microalgae (LUTMM), Department of Biology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (scientific coordinator: G. Nikolaidis (until February 2010) and M. Arsenakis (March 2010–to date)), as well as the restrictions of LUTMM regarding the use of data produced within 2013–2015 due to contract terms and ISO 17025 requirements are acknowledged
