Tetrodotoxin and paralytic shellfish toxins in Philippine crabs.
The frequent occurrence of lethal specimens of Zosimus aeneus and Atergatis floridus on southern Negros Island, Philippines, was confirmed by mouse lethality tests. Among eight specimens of Z. aeneus analyzed by fluorometric liquid chromatography, tetrodotoxin and its derivatives were dominant in five indicating the possible involvement of tetrodotoxin

To limit these impacts, NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) developed a RI model to provide beach‐goers with a category‐based ...
