- - Ciguatera Poisoning (CP) is caused by eating fish that carry harmful natural toxins called ciguatoxins (CTXs), which are spreading globally and raising health concerns.
- - Identifying CTXs is challenging due to the unavailability of reference materials, affecting research and regulatory efforts to manage the risks associated with these toxins.
- - A study in the Canary Islands revealed high levels of CTXs in amberjack fish, identifying a new algal toxin linked to C-CTX5 using advanced detection methods, indicating toxin levels significantly exceeded FDA safety levels.
