The problems in obtaining adequate material for study and the culturing of causative microorganisms have hindered the marine toxin research. Growing public awareness and enhanced detection techniques may help in understanding the cause of the incidence of seafood poisoning and the reason for the rise in the frequency and geographical distribution in the huge fish kills. The spreading of resistant cysts of noxious species by ships, and the worsening of marine environment are also responsible for this increased incidence.
