Notes:
The tropical fish Notropis atherimoldes (0.2–0.4 g) was found to be highly sensitive to saxitoxin (STX) and well-suited for use in the biological estimation of saxitoxin. STX in distilled water at a concentration of 3.3 ng/mL resulted in a paralytic end-point being reached in 17.5 min. The assay is ideally suited for initially detecting the presence of paralytic shellfish toxins in bacterial culture supernates.
