Modelling the Bioaccumulation of Ciguatoxins in Parrotfish on the Great Barrier Reef Reveals Why Biomagnification Is Not a Property of Ciguatoxin Food Chains [PDF]
ToxinsWe adapt previously developed conceptual and numerical models of ciguateric food chains on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, to model the bioaccumulation of ciguatoxins (CTXs) in parrotfish, the simplest food chain with only two trophic levels.

Bioguided fractionation of Gambierdiscus extracts
, 2016 The benthic dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus produces ciguatoxins (CTXs) and maitotoxins (MTXs), the most potent marine toxins known to date. CTXs bio-accumulate and cause Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP).

A General Food Chain Model for Bioaccumulation of Ciguatoxin into Herbivorous Fish in the Pacific Ocean Suggests Few Gambierdiscus Species Can Produce Poisonous Herbivores, and Even Fewer Can Produce Poisonous Higher Trophic Level Fish [PDF]
ToxinsWe adapt previous conceptual and numerical models of ciguateric food chains for the bioaccumulation of Pacific-ciguatoxin-1 (P-CTX-1) to a general model for bioaccumulation of P-CTX3C by parrotfish (Scarus frenatus, S. niger, and S.

Growth and Toxin Production of Gambierdiscus spp. Can Be Regulated by Quorum-Sensing Bacteria
Toxins, 2018 Gambierdiscus spp. are the major culprit responsible for global ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). At present, the effects of microbiological factors on algal proliferation and toxin production are poorly understood.

Ciguatoxicity of Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa species from the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Dinoflagellate species belonging to the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa produce ciguatoxins (CTXs), potent neurotoxins that concentrate in fish causing ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) in humans. While the structures and toxicities of ciguatoxins isolated
