Article Abstract
Marine toxins pose a significant safety risk, leading to human intoxications and causing substantial economic losses in seafood-producing regions. The development of rapid, cost-effective, efficient, and reliable approaches for the containment of these substances is therefore crucial in order to mitigate the adverse impact of marine toxins. This research conducted a comprehensive review on the toxicity and influencing factors of marine toxins production. Additionally, depuration technologies, including adsorption, advanced oxidation processes, biodegradation, heating treatment, temporary maintenance and purification, and drug inhibition, were systematically summarized. The study also provided a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of various depuration technologies and proposed strategies for future development.

Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as widespread environmental pollutants in aquatic ecosystems, primarily due to the extensive use of plastic products, their persistent nature, and improper disposal methods. It is essential to develop effective purification methods to treat the hazardous MPs in water. Chitin and chitosan (CS) have gained attention as promising adsorbents for MPs because of their low cost, abundance, biodegradability, and the presence of functional groups such as amino and hydroxyl groups, which facilitate the removal of various toxins from wastewater.

Eukaryotic harmful and toxic microalgae, along with their derived toxins, pose significant threats to seafood safety, human health, and marine ecosystems. Here, we developed a novel full-length 18S rRNA database for harmful and toxic microalgae and combined metabarcoding with toxin analyses to investigate the ecological patterns of phytoplankton communities and the underlying mechanism of associated toxic microalgae risks. We identified 79 harmful and toxic species in Hong Kong's coastal waters, with dinoflagellates and diatoms representing the majority of toxic and harmful taxa, respectively.

Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a pervasive human health concern associated with subsistence, recreationally and commercially harvested Alaskan shellfish. PSP is caused by saxitoxins (STX), a family of structurally similar neurotoxins produced by the marine microalgae Alexandrium catenella (formerly A. fundyense).

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxic marine biotoxin that poses severe health risks. To address this challenge, a dual-mode detection strategy was developed based on TTX-induced conformational changes in hairpin probes (HP), regulation of Au NPs aggregation to modulate localized surface plasmon resonance, and hotspot formation for colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) signal detection. This method demonstrates higher specificity than ion-induced aggregation.
