Description
Summary:To better understand the dynamics of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) contamination a field study was carried out on the feeding behavior of Mytilus galloprovincialis (Link) during an important DSP outbreak. The study was focused on the relationships between phytoplankton in seawater and algal cells, or their remnants, in mussel stomachs.
