Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is caused by the accumulation by filter-feeding bivalves of potent neuro-toxins produced by some planktonic micro-algae (dinoflagellates). Paralytic shellfish poisoning has caused serious illness in recreational shellfish consumers in New Zealand (Murray, 2014) and it is an important quality assurance problem for the New Zealand shellfish aquaculture industry (MacKenzie, 2014).
