Abstract | Pseudonitzschia species are potential domoic acid producers, a neurotoxin, responsible for the infamous human HAB intoxication at Prince Edward Island, Canada in 1987, costing human lives. Global warming has widened the reach of these phytoplankton species and it is being reported in Indian waters. We report the occurrence of ten Pseudonitzschia species in the northwestern coastal waters of India, out of which, seven are potential domoic acid producers. The question arises, are we vulnerable to HAB (Domoic Acid) toxicity? In light of the observation that Pseudonitzschia dominates the coastal waters of Veraval and its abundance is increasing with time, the present study briefly synthesizes the available information on the ecology, metabolism, and other relevant knowledge related to the domoic acid production by Pseudonitzschia and assesses the risk of human intoxication through trend and forecast analysis with the possible preventive measures required. |
