Saxitoxin Poisoning in Green Turtles () Linked to Scavenging on Mass Mortality of Caribbean Sharpnose Puffer Fish (-Tetraodontidae).

Fish within the family Tetraodontidae are potential sources of both endogenous tetrodotoxins (TTXs) and dietary derived saxitoxins (STXs). Ingestion of fish tissues containing these toxins by other vertebrates can lead to severe illness and death. The Caribbean sharpnose puffer () is a widespread tetraodontid species within the western Atlantic.
