  abstract = {{M}editerranean waters have undergone environmental changes during the last decades leading to various modifications of the structure of phytoplankton populations, especially {H}armful {A}lgal {B}looms ({HAB}s) species. {M}onitoring of the potentially toxic phytoplankton species was carried out biweekly in the western {M}editerranean coast of {M}orocco from {M}arch 2018 to {M}arch 2019. {L}ipophilic {S}hellfish {T}oxins ({LST}s) using {LC}-{MS}/{MS} and {D}omoic {A}cid ({DA}) using {HPLC}-{UV} were measured in the exploited mollusks, the cockle {A}canthocardia tuberculata and the smooth clam {C}allista chione. {W}e also determined the prevailing environmental factors in four surveyed sites ({M}'diq bay, {M}artil, {K}aa {A}sras, and {D}jawn) selected to cover a variety of coastal ecosystems. {R}esults showed that {P}seudo-nitzschia spp. a {DA} producer species, was abundant with a pick of 50 x 10(3) cells l(-1) on {O}ctober 2018 in {D}jawn. {D}inophysis caudata was the dominate {D}inophysis species and showed a maximum density of 2200 cells l(-1) on {J}uly in {D}jawn. {P}rorocentrum lima, an epibenthic dinoflagellate, appeared rarely in the water column with densities < 80 cells l(-1). {G}onyaulax spinifera and {P}rotoceratium reticulatum were found occasionally with a maximum density of 160 cells l(-1). {K}arenia selliformis was detected only five times (< 80 cells l(-1)) throughout the survey period. {LC}-{MS}/{MS} analyses revealed the presence of {OA}/{DTX}3, {PTX}-2, {PTX}-2 sa, and {PTX}-2 sa epi in the cockle at concentrations of up to 44.81 ({OA}/{DTX}-3+{PTX}s) ng g(-1) meat. {GYM}-{A} was detected in the clam at concentrations of up to 4.22 ng g(-1) meat. {F}or the first time, {AZA}s and {YTX}s were detected in the southwestern {M}editerranean with maximum values of 2.49 and 10.93 ng g(-1) meat of cockle, respectively. {DA} was detected in moderate concentrations not exceeding 5.65 mu g g(-1) in both mollusks. {R}esults showed that the observed toxic algae in the water column were responsible from the analysed toxins in the mollusks. {I}t is likely that the southwestern {M}editerranean waters could see the development of emergent species producing potent toxins ({YTX}s, {AZA}s, {GYM}-{A}). {T}hese dinoflagellates have to be isolated, ribotyped, and their toxin profiles determined.},
