Freshwater Hepatotoxins: Geographical Distribution of Toxic Cyanobacteria -- New Toxins on the Horizon -- Marine Toxins as a Starting Point for Drugs -- Incidence of Marine Toxins on Industrial Activity -- Remote Sensing and Computerized Mapping for Development of Harmful Algal Bloom Prediction Methods -- Index.
Summary: This volume focuses on the pharmacology, physiology, toxicology, chemistry, ecology and economics of seafood and freshwater toxins. It covers the biological aspects of the bloom, the effects and actions of each toxin with emphasis on human aspects, and the analytical and preparative options for neurotoxic, diarrhetic shellfish toxins, and hepatotoxic or neurotoxic freshwater cyanobacteria toxins.
