Abstract

Consumption of a variety of shellfish and fish has led to an increasing number of human intoxications around the world. Around 400 poisonous fish species exist and, by definition, the substances responsible for the toxicity of these species are biotoxins. Marine biotoxins represent a significant and expanding threat to human health in many parts of the world. The impact is visible in terms of human poisoning or even death following the consumption of contaminated shellfish or fish, as well as mass killings of fish and shellfish, and death of marine animals and birds. The Codex Alimentarius Code of Practice for Fish and Fishery Products (CAC/RCP 52-2003) defined biotoxins as poisonous substances naturally present in fish and fishery products or accumulated by animals feeding on toxin producing algae, or in water containing toxins produced by such organisms.
