In April 1995, an unusual large-scale red tide of Heterosigma akashiwo (Hada) Hada occurred, causing massive fish kills in Kagoshima Bay, Japan. Four neurotoxic components, HaTx-i, HaTx-iia, HaTx-iib and HaTx-iii, 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.
