Abstract： Objective To investigate the pollution situation of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in different tissues of the horseshoe crabCarcinoscorpius rotundicauda sampled from private stalls in Fuzhou and Nanping. Methods Mouse unit method was used to determine the TTX content in muscles, eggs and connective tissues of the horseshoe carbs. Results Among the 10 horseshoe carbs sampled, totally 9 showed significant symptoms of TTX poisoning. And mouse deaths were induced by muscle extract collected from 9 horseshoe carbs, egg extract from 5 ones and connective tissue extract from 6 ones respectively. Conclusions Different tissues of thehorseshoe carbs are contaminated differently by TTX, and the highest toxicity in this study is obtained from muscle samples, followed by egg and connective tissue ones.
