Abstract excerpt
Recent changes in marine environments around Japan may contribute to interspecific hybridization among pufferfish species. This hybridization potentially alters tetrodotoxin (TTX) distribution patterns and creates new food safety challenges. We conducted DNA-based species identification and toxicity assessment of 14 suspected hybrid pufferfish (Takifugu spp.) collected from the coastal waters of Yamagata...
