Seafood and Freshwater Toxins
Pharmacology, Physiology, and Detection
Second edition
edited by Luis M. Botana
Seafood and Freshwater Toxins: Pharmacology, Physiology, and Detection, Second edition provides current knowledge from several perspectives. Incorporating toxicology, chemistry, ecology, and economics, the book covers the biological aspects of the bloom and the effects and actions of each toxin with emphasis on human response.
This edition includes more information on detection and analysis, toxicological information on previously little known toxins, and food safety issues.
Incorporating Pharmacological, Legal, and Economic Aspects, this book:
- Provides general information on risk assessment and analytical techniques
- Covers several categories of toxins by function and biomechanism
- Considers potential pharmacological applications and the use of toxins as precursors to therapeutic drugs
- Highlights the legal and economic perspectives of toxic incidence in industrial activity and international regulation and monitoring programs
- Describes new toxins by their individual chemical structure, ecobiology, metabolism, detection methods, determination, pharmacology, and toxicology
