摘要： Harmful red tides in China have caused paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) pollution and led to severe socioeco-nomic effects in shellfish aquaculture. Although shellfish can survive harmful algal blooms, the effects on their Condition Index (CI) have been underestimated. This study sought to evaluate the effects of the profiles and levels of paralytic shellfish toxins on variations in the CI in bivalves under natural blooming conditions. We observed clear soft tissue lesions to varying degrees except in Mytilus galloprovincialis after toxin exposure. Among the five species of shellfish exposed in situ, only M. galloprovincialis accumulated PSTs content above the maximum permitted level (800 mu g STX di-HCl eq./kg). The highest toxin content in all sample tissues was observed in Patinopecten yessoensis. Significant interspecies differences in PSTs accumulation among the five bivalve species were observed in the hepatopancreas. A total of nine PSTs components and four new C-11 hy-droxyl metabolites (so-called M-toxins) toxins were detected, and detoxification diversity was observed among bivalves. We observed a higher proportion of M-toxin in early stages, and the proportions changed only slightly over time in M. galloprovincialis and Magallana gigas, thus accounting for the significantly higher metabolism rate. Notably, the CI in M. gigas and Argopecten irradians was positively correlated with lowest toxin accumulation of PSTs content, but significantly inhibited. In conclusion, our results revealed a significant inhibitory effect on the CI in shellfish, in a species specific manner, with distinct levels of inhibition correlated with different toxin metabolites. Our study revealed the toxin content of different bivalves exposed to a natural red tide environment and the consequent effects on growth, thus building a foundation for research on the mechanisms underlying the effects of PSTs on growth. These data establish the ecological and economic significance of the effects of harmful algal blooms on bivalves.
