Toxicity and underlying mechanism of the toxic dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus caribaeus to the fish Oryzias melastigma

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Gambierdiscus spp. is mainly responsible for the ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) around the world. The gambiertoxin produced by Gambierdiscus can be passed through the food chain to form ciguatoxins (CTXs) that cause ciguatoxins poisoning.
