PTXs have been observed in shellfish from both coasts of North America (M. A. Quilliam, personal communication), and one of the sources on the east coast has been identified as D. acuminata (Quilliam et al. 2003). PTX-2 and its seco acids have recently been detected in scallops (Argopecten purpuratus) and clams Venus antiqua) from Chile (A. Lopez and B.A. Suarez-lsla, personal communication).
