Eiders ( Somateria mollissima) obtain nodularin, a cyanobacterial hepatotoxin, in baltic sea food web
Abstract Nodularin (NODN) is a cyclic pentapeptide hepatotoxin produced by the cyanobacterium Nodularia spumigena , which occurs regularly in the Baltic Sea during the summer season. Nodularia blooms have caused several animal kills in the Baltic Sea area, and NODLN has been found in mussels and fis...
