Surveillance and Risk Assessment of Diarrhetic and Paralytic Shellfish Toxins in the Tangshan Shellfish Culture Areas of Bohai Sea, China

Progress in Fishery Sciences, 2023
Shellfish are filter feeders that can accumulate toxic algae and their related toxins, increasing risk when consumed. Shellfish toxins can directly affect the physiological activities of marine organisms and threaten the stability of marine ecosystems ...

Formation of a Volunteer Harmful Algal Bloom Network in British Columbia, Canada, Following an Outbreak of Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning

Marine Drugs, 2013
Evidence for shellfish toxin illness in British Columbia (BC) on the west coast of Canada can be traced back to 1793. For over two hundred years, domestically acquired bivalve shellfish toxin illnesses in BC were solely ascribed to paralytic shellfish ...

Cyanotoxins: methods and approaches for their analysis and detection [PDF]

, 2017
Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, a group of photosynthetic prokaryota especially found in freshwater. In favourable conditions (i.e. high nutrient levels, light intensity, water temperature), cyanobacteria can form blooms,
