It has been assumed that the water‐soluble paralytic shellfish toxins are extracted and concentrated by the organic‐solvent extraction method used for diarrhetic shellfish toxins. As diarrhetic toxin extracts of mussels with high levels of paralytic toxins are found nontoxic, it appears that paralytic toxins are not present in those extracts.
