Recently we have found that domoic acid (DA), a toxin responsible for amnesic shellfish poisoning, is always detected in bivalve species belonging to a genus Spondylus randomly collected from various parts of the tropical areas including Vietnam. In Vietnam, 10 species of Spondylus are known to grow. Among these species, S. cruentus is a commercially valuable species. Domoic acid in S. cruentus collected in Nha Trang Bay is analyzed by ELISA and LC/MS/MS. Remarkable individual difference was observed in DA level among 28 specimens of S. cruentus collected from the same area at the same time. The DA level in S. cruentus apparently showed a seasonal variation. However, the variation of DA content seems to be due to a large individual difference among the specimens. When the specimens were reared in plankton-free conditions, DA level in S. cruentus did not decreaseds for 45 days, showing that S. cruentus maintains DA for a long period.
