Gymnodinium breve: Induction of Shellfish Poisoning in Chicks.
Oysters exposed to laboratory cultures of the fish-killing dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium breve, are toxic when fed to chicks. The ecological significance of this result is interpreted in relation to the scarcity of well-documented reports of shellfish poisoning in higher animals from those areas of the Gulf of Mexico in which G. breve "blooms" occur.
