How Are Dinoflagellate Toxins Detected and Managed?
Detection and management of dinoflagellate toxins involve several approaches. Analytical methods such as liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry are used to identify and quantify toxins in seafood samples. Moreover, monitoring programs are in place to observe the occurrence of harmful algal blooms and implement regulations to close fisheries when necessary. Public awareness and education also play a vital role in preventing toxin exposure.
