Morphological and genetic characterization of benthic dinoflagellates of the genera Coolia, Ostreopsis and Prorocentrum from the south-eastern Bay of Biscay (2011, background): “These genera are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical marine areas where they co-occur with species of the genus Gambierdiscus , which seems to be responsible for most cases of ciguatera fish poisoning (Richlen et al , 2008 ; Litaker et al , 2009 ).”
Progress in understanding harmful algal blooms (HABs): Paradigm shifts and new technologies for research, monitoring and management (2012, background): “…147 Gulf of Mexico), 5 are endemic to the tropical Paciﬁc, and 2 ( G. carpenteri and G. caribaeus ) are and Paciﬁc correlate with structural differences in the ciguatoxins accumulated in Atlantic and Paciﬁc ﬁsh (Litaker et al. 2009) and with differences in the symptoms of poisoned individuals.”
