Haemolymph protein in xanthid crabs from the Great Barrier Reef
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Haemolymph was obtained from 26 xanthid crabs collected at low tide from Reef 21-145 and Laver's Cay on the Great Barrier Reef. A combinatin of protease inhibitors (5 mM EDTA, 1... -
Human fatalities in Vanuatu after eating the xanthid crab, Daira perlata
Australian Institute of Marine Science
This was the first case of the crab species, Daira perlata, being inplicated in toxic poisoning. Autopsies were not carried out on the two teenagers who died in 2000 after... -
Bioaccumulation monitoring of the mud crab, Scylla serrata, from Queensland estuaries
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Mature male mud crabs were collected by commercial fishers from 11 rivers and creeks spanning 1500 km of the Queensland coast, following the 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 wet seasons.... -
Saxitoxin in octopi from Cooke Point, Port Hedland, Western Australia
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Octopus (Abdopus) sp. 5 were collected from a reef flat at Cooke Point, Port Hedland in northern Western Australia. The octopi had a body size of between 5-6 cm and tentacle... -
Detection and quantitation of Saxitoxin and its analogues from strains of...
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Fourteen isolates of Anabaena circinalis from various regions of Australia were grown for extraction. Two microtiter plate based bioassays for measuring saxitoxin (STX) and its... -
Phylogenetic survey of soluble saxitoxin-binding activity by saxiphilin
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Plasma tissue and haemolymph samples from 118 species across a range of phyla were assayed for the presence of saxiphilin [3H]STX, a soluble protein which binds the neurotoxin... -
The behaviour of mixtures of paralytic shellfish toxins in receptor dependent assays
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Using two unrelated STX-binding proteins (the rat brain Na channel and a saxiphilin from the xanthid crab Liomera tristis), this study experimentally validated the predicted... -
Gauging the effects of shellfish extract matrices, salts and pH upon...
Australian Institute of Marine Science
In this study, a microtitre plate binding assay using a saxiphilin isoform [3H]STX from the centipede Ethmostigmus rubripes, was challenged with differing conditions of salt...
