Marine Drugs, 2018 Pufferfish saxitoxin and tetrodotoxin (TTX) binding protein (PSTBP) is a glycoprotein that we previously isolated from the blood plasma of the pufferfish Takifugu pardalis; this protein was also detected in seven species of the genus Takifugu.

Larval pufferfish protected by maternal tetrodotoxin [PDF]
Toxicon, 2014 Marine pufferfish contain tetrodotoxin (TTX), an extremely potent neurotoxin. All species of the genus Takifugu accumulate TTX in the liver and ovaries, although the tissue(s) in which it is localized can differ among species. TTX is the major defense strategy the pufferfish appears to use against predators.

Levels of Tetrodotoxins in Spawning Pufferfish, Takifugu alboplumbeus
Marine Drugs, 2023 Tetrodotoxin (TTX), also known as pufferfish toxin, is an extremely potent neurotoxin thought to be used as a biological defense compound in organisms bearing it. Although TTX was thought to function as a chemical agent for defense and anti-predation and

Pufferfish versus lionfish: comparing risks for Turkish marine economics [PDF]
Marine Economics and Management, 2022 Purpose – This study aims to explore the risk level of pufferfish and lionfish by comparing them among Turkish marines. In addition, this study focuses on comparing pufferfish with lionfish to determine which one is more dangerous for marine economics in

Kantorovich Mechanism for Pufferfish Privacy
CoRR, 2022 Pufferfish privacy achieves $ε$-indistinguishability over a set of secret pairs in the disclosed data. This paper studies how to attain $ε$-pufferfish privacy by exponential mechanism, an additive noise scheme that generalizes the Laplace noise. It is shown that the disclosed data is $ε$-pufferfish private if the noise is calibrated to the sensitivity ...

Toxic Flatworm Egg Plates Serve as a Possible Source of Tetrodotoxin for Pufferfish
Toxins, 2019 The pufferfish Takifugu niphobles (at present Takifugu alboplumbeus) possesses highly concentrated tetrodotoxin (TTX), an extremely potent neurotoxin that provides effective protection from predators, at least at the larval stages. However, the source of
