Microalgal blooms are a natural part of the seasonal cycle of photosynthetic organisms in
marine ecosystems. They are key components of the structure and dynamics of the oceans …

Harmful algal blooms are natural phenomena caused by the massive growth of
phytoplankton that may contain highly toxic chemicals, the so-called marine biotoxins …

Massive phytoplankton proliferation, and the consequent release of toxic metabolites, can
be responsible for seafood poisoning outbreaks: filter-feeding mollusks, such as shellfish …

Marine phycotoxins are a multiplicity of bioactive compounds which are produced by
microalgae and bioaccumulate in the marine food web. Phycotoxins affect the ecosystem …

Harmful algal blooms pose a challenge regarding food safety due to their erratic nature and
forming circumstances which are yet to be disclosed. The best strategy to protect human …

Abstract In France, REPHY (Observation and Surveillance Network for Phytoplankton and
Hydrology in coastal waters) and REPHYTOX (Monitoring Network for Phycotoxins in marine …

Pinnatoxins (PnTXs) produced by the cosmopolitan dinoflagellate Vulcanodinium rugosum
are highly potent cyclic imines that represent a risk for seafood consumers, artisanal …

We present an overview of the toxicological profile of the fast‐acting, lipophilic macrocyclic
imine toxins, an emerging family of organic compounds associated with algal blooms …

Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is a foodborne disease caused by the consumption of
seafood (fish and marine invertebrates) contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs) produced by …

The marine dinoflagellate Vulcanodinium rugosum produces powerful paralyzing and
cytotoxic compounds named pinnatoxins (PnTX) and portimines. Even though, no related …
