Results from the analysis and quantification of total concentration of BMAA in mussels and scallops. Sample ID A–G refer to different seafood containers, whereas the numbers 1–3 refers to three different individual of same species. Each individual were analyzed in triplicate samples (n = 3). BM1 = blue mussel Mytilus edulis, BM2 = blue mussel Mytilus edulis platensis, GM = green mussel Perna canaliculus and S = Scallop Placopecten magellanicus.
