This project aims to develop a novel, high throughput platform for rapidly assessing ciguatoxins. Species of the marine microalgae Gambierdiscus produce ciguatoxins, which accumulate in fish through marine food chains to cause the often debilitating human illness called ciguatera fish poisoning. Ciiguatera fish poisoning is a growing and substantial risk for the $2.2 billion Australian commercial fishing industry. This serious illness is increasingly impacting more southerly areas of Australia due to environmental changes. The outcomes of this project include new knowledge of the risk of ciguatoxins at Australian 'hot spot' sites, extensively field tested methods for detecting Gambierdiscus and ciguatoxins in situ and key data to inform policy to safeguard the seafood industry and consumers.

该项目旨在开发一种新型的高通量平台，用于快速评估雪卡毒素。海洋微藻Gambierdiscus产生雪卡毒素，通过海洋食物链在鱼类中积累，导致通常使人类衰弱的疾病，称为雪卡毒鱼中毒。Ciiguatera鱼类中毒对价值22亿美元的澳大利亚商业捕鱼业来说是一个日益严重的风险。由于环境变化，这种严重的疾病越来越多地影响澳大利亚南部地区。该项目的成果包括对澳大利亚“热点”地点雪卡毒素风险的新认识，现场检测甘比耳盘菌和雪卡毒素的广泛实地测试方法，以及为保护海产品行业和消费者的政策提供信息的关键数据。
