Harmful Algal Bloom Toxins in Seabirds, Forage Fish, and Marine Invertebrates Across Alaska
July 11, 2022
This dataset contains screening results for harmful algal bloom (HAB) toxins saxitoxin (STX) and domoic acid (DA) in birds, fish, and invertebrates. Samples collected by the USGS, or submitted by partners and stakeholders, were screened using commercially available enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). A subset of samples with detectable STX levels were subsequently analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The dataset consists of a single table containing the ELISA results for STX and DA, and HPLC summary results for STX congeners. Some of these data have been previously published in other USGS data releases: https://www.doi.org/10.5066/P9UNY0FR and https://www.doi.org/10.5066/P9OK4I8M

Harmful algal blooms produce biotoxins that can injure or kill fish, wildlife, and humans. These blooms occur naturally but have intensified in many locations globally due to recent climatic changes, including ocean warming. Such changes are especially pronounced in northern regions, where the effects of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) on marine wildlife are of growing concern. In...
