Abstract
Shellfish are filter-feeding organisms that may accumulate high levels of naturally-occurring toxins, produced by harmful algal blooms, and act as marine toxin vectors to whomever consumes them[...]
Highlights
Technological advance for sensitive and accurate sophisticated detection methods is needed, and cost effective and fast, high-throughput, in situ, real-time monitoring, semi-quantitative or qualitative, or technically less complex are important to respond to the challenges posed by the new and emerging toxins
The four papers published in this Special Issue initiated a forum on Journal of Marine Science and Engineering about marine biotoxins, challenges and advances in their detection and monitoring, new toxins and new toxin vectors
Loeffler et al [3] highlighted the importance of determining the toxin content, in this case regarding ciguatoxins, and not relying only on species identification, in this case fish species that are commonly recognized as toxin vectors
Summary
Technological advance for sensitive and accurate sophisticated detection methods is needed, and cost effective and fast, high-throughput, in situ, real-time monitoring, semi-quantitative or qualitative, or technically less complex are important to respond to the challenges posed by the new and emerging toxins. The four papers published in this Special Issue initiated a forum on Journal of Marine Science and Engineering about marine biotoxins, challenges and advances in their detection and monitoring, new toxins and new toxin vectors.
