The presence of amnesic shellfish poisoning (Domoic acid intoxication) was evaluated in the central coast of Peru. The ingestion of shellfish contaminated by some strains of Pseudo-nitzschia cause’s gastric problems, partial amnesia and death in some cases. In our country we have some records of Pseudo-nitzschia strains which have toxins problems. That was the reason why we started testing in the central coast of Peru, in three areas: Pucusana, Paracas bay and San Lorenzo Island. The strains isolated from samplings were cultured and classified with the help of scanning electron microscope. We found two species, P. pungens and P. subpacifica. This is the first time we report P. subpacifica in Peruvian waters. Also, these two species did not present acid domoico under the techniques of HPLC/MS. Therefore, the risk of amnesic shellfish poisoning in this area would be low, which is convenient for the pectiniculture of the area. However, this does not rule out that these two species identified, under other environmental conditions, can be able to present toxin. Since it happens in other oceans, it is necessary the rigorous planning and monitoring from the North to the South of the country to prevent future problems
