Popis:	IT is generally accepted that the heat-resistant alkaloid which may be extracted from the digestive gland or liver of shellfish in coastal areas where poisoning of humans has occurred is responsible for the clinical picture in these cases. The same poison has been found in the dinoflagellate Gonyaulax catenella 1 on which the bivalves feed at certain times of the year, and the plankton has, therefore, been held responsible for the production of the toxin.
