Comparative paralytic shellfish toxin accumulation in three important Aotearoa New Zealand marine invertebrate species: kina (Evechinus chloroticus), pāua (Haliotis iris) and hohehohe (Panopea zelandica)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1252-1264, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the potential for paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) accumulation in three of Aotearoa New Zealand's (NZ) taonga seafood species: kina (urchin; Evechinus chloroticus), pāua (abalone; Haliotis iris) and hohehohe (geoduck; Panopea zelandica) in laboratory exposures to the dinoflagellate Alexandrium pacificum.

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

open access: yes, 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,

First report about saxitoxins in freshwater fish Hoplias malabaricus through trophic exposure. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Cyanobacterial waterblooms, such as the saxitoxin (STX) producer Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, have been a worldwide concern in environmental health. However, the bioaccumulation of this neurotoxin in the trophic chain is not completely known.

Removal of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins by Probiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria

open access: yesToxins, 2014
Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are non-protein neurotoxins produced by saltwater dinoflagellates and freshwater cyanobacteria. The ability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains GG and LC-705 (in viable and non-viable forms) to remove PSTs (saxitoxin (STX)

Oceanography and Pacific Oyster Biochemical Composition in a Novel Oyster‐Growing Region

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The farming of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea [Magallana] gigas) is a rapidly growing industry in Alaska, where farms represent some of the highest latitude oyster cultivation efforts in the world. Little is known about the nearshore oceanography where Alaskan farms are located, or how the subarctic marine context influences oyster tissue ...

Stability of Saxitoxin in 50% Methanol Fecal Extracts and Raw Feces from Bowhead Whales (Balaena mysticetus)

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2022
In recent decades, harmful algal blooms (HABs) producing paralytic shellfish toxins (including saxitoxin, STX) have become increasingly frequent in the marine waters of Alaska, USA, subjecting Pacific Arctic and subarctic communities and wildlife to ...

Saxitoxin time–resolved absorption and resonance FT–IR and Raman biospectroscopy and density functional theory investigation of vibronic–mode coupling structure in vibrational spectra analysis

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Experimental and Clinical Research, 2019
Saxitoxin (STX) is a potent neurotoxin and the best–known paralytic shellfish toxin (PST). Ingestion of Saxitoxin by humans, usually by consumption of shellfish contaminated by toxic algal blooms, is responsible for the illness known as paralytic ...
