“…PLTX has been shown to be harmful and occur in EU while it is not regulated [ 36 , 37 ]. An ARfD of 0.2 μg/kg (sum of palytoxin and ostreocin-D) has been established through experimental toxicity data [ 268 ].…”

“…Palytoxin (PLTX) ( Figure 1 I) is a very potent natural toxin responsible for seafood poisoning and produced by soft corals of the genera Palythoa , Zoanthus , and Parazoanthus , by planktonic and benthic dinoflagellates of the genus Ostreopsis , and by cyanobacteria of the genus Trichodesmium . In recent decades, species of the genus Ostreopsis are proliferating in temperate latitudes including the Mediterranean Sea Coast where recurrent blooms have occurred [ 36 , 37 ]. Even though PLTXs are not regulated in seafood in Europe, these toxins have been shown to be harmful and occur in European coasts.…”

Current Trends and New Challenges in Marine Phycotoxins

et al. 2022

Marine phycotoxins are a multiplicity of bioactive compounds which are produced by microalgae and bioaccumulate in the marine food web. Phycotoxins affect the ecosystem, pose a threat to human health, and have important economic effects on aquaculture and tourism worldwide. However, human health and food safety have been the primary concerns when considering the impacts of phycotoxins. Phycotoxins toxicity information, often used to set regulatory limits for these toxins in shellfish, lacks traceability of toxicity values highlighting the need for predefined toxicological criteria. Toxicity data together with adequate detection methods for monitoring procedures are crucial to protect human health. However, despite technological advances, there are still methodological uncertainties and high demand for universal phycotoxin detectors. This review focuses on these topics, including uncertainties of climate change, providing an overview of the current information as well as future perspectives.
