Description:"Over the past several years, considerable effort has been invested in developing sensitive methods for detecting algal toxins, specifically using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technologies. Previously, detection of algal toxins, such as domoic acid (DA), required expensive analytical equipment and highly trained personnel to perform high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or liquid chrom atography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) methodologies. While excellent methods exist for DA detection using these technologies for seafood safety programs, these methods lacked the sensitivity needed for researchers investigating the impacts of harmful algal bloom toxins in wildlife. The advent of ELISA kits for DA quantification provides a useful tool for diagnostic studies in natural marine mammal populations, but requires careful testing in new sample matrices before being employed. This technical memorandum provides protocols for DA quantification by ELISA in multiple marine mammal species and sample matrices and outlines consistent reporting criteria for use by the larger scientific community"--Executive summary.
