Abstract |
This chapter revises current knowledge on marine biotoxins that are known nowadays, considering all the distinct groups based on chemical structure and lipophilic or hydrophilic characteristics. Diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP ), paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP ), azaspiracid shellfish poisoning (AZP ), ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP ) are some of the groups that will be reviewed in this chapter. The recent development and application of advanced technologies from the generically defined -omics sciences coupled with bioinformatics platforms has been included in this chapter in order to understand the ecology and evolution of phytoplankton species and bloom dynamics. Dinoflagellate toxins are structurally and functionally diverse, and many present unique biological activities. The literature and information regarding the biological activities and the potential application of these phycotoxins has been gathered in this book section. |
