Fear of grazing rivals the toxin-inducing effects of nutrients in two marine harmful algae - a meta-analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

Development of Analytical Methods for Multiple Phycotoxins in Fish Plasma. [PDF]
Certain harmful algal blooms (HABs) produce phycotoxins, which can be toxic to animals and to humans through seafood consumption. Data are currently lacking regarding the accumulation of phycotoxins in fish species.

Exploratory Study on the Role of Phycotoxins in Dinoflagellates [PDF]
Phycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by dinoflagellates and other algae. Despite their notorious role in neurotoxicity to higher trophic level species, it is still unknown why algae produce phycotoxins.

A THEORETICAL ESTIMATION OF EXPOSURE TO SHELLFISH TOXINS OF DIFFERENT POPULATION GROUPS IN BULGARIA
Introduction. Shellfish poisoning could be caused by ingestion of shellfish contaminated by bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, marine biotoxins etc. The objective of the study was to determine the theoretical human exposure to shellfish toxins
