Human Poisoning from Marine Toxins: Unknowns for Optimal Consumer Protection. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel), 2018 Marine biotoxins are produced by aquatic microorganisms and accumulate in shellfish or finfish following the food web. These toxins usually reach human consumers by ingestion of contaminated seafood, although other exposure routes like inhalation or ...

Effects of Various Marine Toxins on the Mouse Intestine Organoid Model. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel), 2022 Because of their trace existence, exquisite structure and unique role, highly toxic marine biotoxins have always led to the development of natural product identification, structure and function research, chemistry and biosynthesis, and there are still ...

Biosynthesis of marine toxins [PDF]
Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2020 Throughout history, humans have encountered natural toxic chemicals from the ocean environment, often through contaminated seafood. Although marine toxins can be harmful to human health and devastate local environments when they are produced during algal bloom events, they are also important biochemical research reagents and drug leads in medicine.

British Medical Bulletin, 2000 Seafood products are important both nutritionally and economically. Within Europe, some 12 billion Pounds of fishery products are consumed annually and an enormous variety of species are available. Although seafood is rarely implicated in food poisoning, compared to other food sources, it does provide some specific human health hazards unique to this ...

Are toxins from harmful algae a factor involved in the decline of harbour seal populations in Scotland? [PDF]
, 2015 Firstly this study builds on the investigation initiated by Hall and Frame (2010), which found that Scottish harbour seals were exposed to domoic acid (DA), a potent natural neurotoxin produced by phytoplankton.

Cnidarian toxins: recent evidences for potential therapeutic uses
The European Zoological Journal, 2020 Marine toxins have received global attention for their involvement in human intoxication. Many marine phyla are well adapted to produce venoms or toxins protect themselves from associated micro fauna, predators and pathogens.
