Pufferfish Optimization Algorithm: A New Bio-Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithm for Solving Optimization Problems

Biomimetics
A new bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithm named the Pufferfish Optimization Algorithm (POA), that imitates the natural behavior of pufferfish in nature, is introduced in this paper.

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

Local Differences in the Toxin Amount and Composition of Tetrodotoxin and Related Compounds in Pufferfish (Chelonodon patoca) and Toxic Goby (Yongeichthys criniger) Juveniles

Toxins, 2022
Tetrodotoxin (TTX)-bearing fish ingest TTX from their preys through the food chain and accumulate TTX in their bodies. Although a wide variety of TTX-bearing organisms have been reported, the missing link in the TTX supply chain has not been elucidated ...

Pufferfish Privacy: An Information-Theoretic Study [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2022
Pufferfish privacy (PP) is a generalization of differential privacy (DP), that offers flexibility in specifying sensitive information and integrates domain knowledge into the privacy definition.

Lactococcus garvieae as a Novel Pathogen in Cultured Pufferfish (Takifugu obscurus) in China

Fishes
In October 2023, a disease outbreak in pufferfish (Takifugu obscurus) farms in Zhongshan City, Guangdong, China, caused high mortality. Diseased fish (mean length: 15 ± 1 cm) exhibited swimming disorders, fin rot, hemorrhage, and an enlarged spleen ...

Pufferfish Saxitoxin and Tetrodotoxin Binding Protein (PSTBP) Analogues in the Blood Plasma of the Pufferfish Arothron nigropunctatus, A. hispidus, A. manilensis, and Chelonodon patoca

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.

First Toxicological Analysis of the Pufferfish Sphoeroides pachygaster Collected in Italian Waters (Strait of Sicily): Role of Citizens Science in Monitoring Toxic Marine Species

Animals, 2023
Pufferfish (Tetraodontidae) inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea may represent an emerging public health risk due to the possible accumulation of marine neurotoxins such as tetrodotoxin (TTXs) and saxitoxin (STXs) in their tissues.

Automated Patch Clamp for the Detection of Tetrodotoxin in Pufferfish Samples

Marine Drugs
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a marine toxin responsible for many intoxications around the world. Its presence in some pufferfish species and, as recently reported, in shellfish, poses a serious health concern. Although TTX is not routinely monitored, there is a

Approximation of Pufferfish Privacy for Gaussian Priors [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security
This paper studies how to approximate pufferfish privacy when the adversary’s prior belief of the published data is Gaussian distributed. Using Monge’s optimal transport plan, we show that $(\epsilon , \delta )$ -pufferfish privacy is attained if the ...

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
