Ichthyosarcotoxin

Ichthyosarcotoxin may also be found in the roe of fishes, but it is found in other Parts of the fish as well, whereas ichthyootoxin is limited to the roe.

The toxin involved is called tetrodotoxin and was originally believed to be a true ichthyosarcotoxin produced by the fish itself.

The other ichthyosarcotoxins that have been identified in ciguatoxic fish, scaritoxin and maitotoxin, lag behind ciguatoxin in physicochemical characterization.
