Description
Antonija Bulić and four co-authors give the first full profile of azaspiracid shellfish toxins in the Adriatic Sea, in a study from twenty twenty-five. These toxins, made by tiny plankton, build up in filter-feeding shellfish and threaten seafood safety. The team sampled shellfish in Šibenik Bay over five months.
High-resolution mass spectrometry found one toxin type, AZA-2, dominant, peaking in early January. Six known relatives appeared alongside it, plus a likely new variant whose fragments hint at a small structural twist on a known type. The authors also flag a pitfall in reading spectra of carbon-isotope-bearing molecules. With several potent types present, they urge regulators to monitor more than the usual three.
