Article Synopsis
- Tetrodotoxin (TTX) and its analogues are dangerous toxins commonly associated with pufferfish poisoning, primarily in Eastern Asia.
- Recent research detected three TTX analogues (unknown epimer, deoxyTTX, and trideoxyTTX) in European fiddler crabs and trideoxyTTX in green crabs from southern Portugal.
- The findings suggest that crabs’ feeding habits may affect TTX accumulation, highlighting the importance of monitoring these toxins in edible marine life for consumer safety.
