Includes bibliographical references (p. 73-80). Harmful algal blooms are prevalent off the west coast of South Africa in the summer and autumn months, and have a detrimental impact on human activities along the coast. Some harmful algal blooms are dominated by phytoplankton which produce toxins that can cause shellfish poisoning syndromes. The relationship between the abundance and toxicity of toxigenic phytoplankton, and the concentrations and composition of toxins in the filter-feeding mussel Choromytilus meridionalis, was investigated. Several different methods were used to determine toxin concentations in the mussel. 2015-01-05T07:07:16Z 2015-01-05T07:07:16Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11405 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
