Studies on the immunosuppressive effects and detection of naturally-occuring toxins [PDF]
Episodes of toxin-producing phytoplankton occur worldwide, causing both animal and human fatalities. Toxicity occurs through consumption of phycotoxins, including azaspiracid, which accumulate in filter-feeding shellfish. Microcystins are hepatotoxins,

Hemolymph-Mediated Dynamics of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins and Tetrodotoxin in Scallops
To investigate the dynamics of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and tetrodotoxins (TTX) in scallops, PSTs and TTX were analyzed in the hemolymph supernatant (hemolymph-S) and digestive gland in Yesso and Akazara scallops cultured in eastern Japan.
