Factors affecting the toxicity of the dinoflagellate, Gambierdiscus toxicus, and the development of ciguatera outbreaks

This project confirmed that the benthic dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus toxicus is an origin of putative ciguatoxin precursors called gambiertoxins. It was recently found in French Polynesia that gambiertoxins could be extracted from biodetritus containing wild G. toxicus and that gambiertoxins were...

Production of antibodies against toxins involved in ciguatera fish poisoning

Sufficient pure ciguatoxin (0.5 mg of CTX-1) has been isolated from moray eel viscera to allow the immunisation of mice and screening of antibodies to ciguatoxin. It is determined that in vivo immunisation techniques were most likely to yield antibodies using related toxins as models of ciguatoxin....

An assessment in an animal model of the ability of mannitol and other possible antagonists to reverse the neural symptomatology of ciguatera poisoning

This is the final report for two Fishing Research and Development Grants, 1987-058 and 1988-029. Both grants provided funds for research on Ciguatera poisoning and Ciguatoxin. Experimental studies were conducted on fish and mammals. Both grants are specifically related to ciguatera poisoning and...

SCRC: PhD: Processing of Sea cucumber viscera for bioactive compounds

Sea cucumbers are prolific producers of a wide range of bioactive compounds, which are potential sources of agrichemical, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products. Sea cucumbers expel their internal organs as a defence mechanism called evisceration. We hypothesize that the reason for...
