Abstract

•Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and bioactive extracellular compounds (BECs) of Alexandrium minutum have contrasted effects upon Crassostrea gigas oysters.•BECs affect nutrition and valve-activity behavior.•BECs induce hemocyte mobilization in gills.•PSTs disrupt biological rhythm.•PSTs provoke inflammation in the digestive gland.
