Several groups of marine biotoxins, in particular tetrodotoxins, ciguatoxins, and palytoxins, are included among the relevant marine biotoxins that have recently emerged in several coastal areas. A similar situation has been observed in freshwater, where cyanobacterial toxins, such as microcystins, could end up in unexpected areas such as the estuaries where shellfish are cultivated. Climate change and the increased availability of nutrients have been considered as the key factors in the expansion of all of these toxins into new areas; however, this could also be due to more intense biological invasions, more sensitive analytical methods, or perhaps even an increased scientific interest in these natural contaminations. The incidences of human intoxications due to the consumption of seafood contaminated with these toxins have made their study an important task to accomplish in order to protect human health. This Special Issue has a focus on a wide variety of emerging biotoxin classes and techniques to identify and quantify them.C-CTX-1non-targeted analysisciguatera fish poisoningsuspects screeningneurodegenerationadaptationLC-HRMSparalytic shellfish toxinsLC-MS/MSanimal toxinsidentificationmethod characterizationcaribbean ciguatoxinsoral toxicitywater fleaquorum sensingeutrophicationbeta-methyl-amino-l-alaninedynamics simulationthermal waterspent mediumMicrocystisGambierdiscusgambierdiscuswhole genome sequencingpalytoxinconotoxinovatoxinscyanobacterial toxinBMAACiguatera fish poisoningRastrineobola argenteacalcium-activated K+ ion channeltoxicity equivalence factorNMR spectroscopyN2aPPIAmarine biotoxinsDaphnia magnaELISAdisulfide-rich peptidefood chainShK-like peptidevoltage-gated K+ ion channeltargeted analysisChinese yellow catfishmarinemacaronesianeuroblastoma bioassaymarine toxinsacute toxicityalgal-bacterial relationshipmass spectrometrytetrodotoxinssaxitoxintoxicologycationizationseafood safetyevolutioncyanotoxinstoxin geneszoantharianspatial variabilitydopaminergic neuronstetrodotoxinbivalve mollusksGerssen Arjen1297596Gago-Martínez AnaBOOK9910367565003321Emerging Marine Biotoxins3024593UNINA
