Abstract
The disposition of STX in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) was studied after intraperitoneal (IP) injection (5 microg STX/kg bm and 3.43 microg (3)H-STXeq/kg bw respectively), intravenous (IV) injection (5 microg STX/kg bm, only salmon) and waterborne exposure (50 microg STXeq/L, only salmon). Plasma concentrations in salmon were quantified using a receptor binding assay and cod tissues were analyzed using scintillation counting of tissue extracts and autoradiography of whole fish slices. The estimated elimination half-life (T(1/2)) after IV administration of STX in salmon was 102.6 min. The volume of distribution (Vz) was observed to be 467.2 mL/kg and the total body clearance (Cl(T)) was 3.2 mL/min/kg. Waterborne exposure clearly showed that salmon absorbed PSP toxins directly from the water. In cod, (3)H-STX was observed in gills, muscle, brain, liver and posterior kidney from 30 to 480 min. The lowest concentrations of (3)H-STX were found in brain and muscle, whereas posterior kidney contained the majority of the toxin. Autoradiograms confirmed the high levels of (3)H-STX in the kidneys, indicating that renal excretion was the main elimination route. Buildup of harmful levels in edible tissue is...Continue Reading
