- Abstract
The article cites a study on the detection and the spectroscopic characterization of PSP and DSP toxins extracted from cockles collected in the Tetouan region in Morocco from May 1995 to November 1996. PSP and DSP standards were obtained from Diagnostic Chemical Limited Co. The toxicity levels of cockles from the Tetouan region, during the study period, were 4000, 1731, 1952, 1880 and 2043 MU in November 1994, May 1995, October 1995, May 1996 and November 1996, respectively. Toxicity levels for all the samples were higher than the public health safety threshold throughout this period.
