Lipophilic phycotoxins (LPTs) and domoic acid (DA) in Antarctic seawater, as well as parts of the South Pacific and the Southern Indian Oceans were systematically investigated. DA and six LPTs, namely pectenotoxin-2 (PTX2), okadaic acid (OA), yessotoxin (YTX), homo-yessotoxin (h-YTX), 13-desmethyl spirolide C (SPX1), and gymnodimine (GYM), were detected.
