Abstract
In April 1995, an unusual large-scale red tide of Heterosigma akashiwo (Hada) Hada occurred, causing massive fish kills in Kagoshima Bay, Ja pan. Four neurotoxic components, HaTX-I, HaTX-IIa, HaTX-IIb and HaTX-I II, which corresponded to brevetoxin components, PbTX-2, PbTX-9, PbTX- 3 and oxidized PbTX-2, were inferred from analysis of Heterosigma red tide toxins on TLC and HPLC.
