Ciguatoxins is a kind of terrible coral fish toxin produced by certain marine benthic microalgae and may accumulate in various kinds of coral fishes through the food chain. It result in poisoning in those who eat coral fish containing ciguatoxins. In recent years, as coral fishes are increasingly traded among many countries and areas , it has become a world health problem. In order to prevent food poisoning induced by ciguatoxins , its molecular structure , chemical properties, original biological resource, poisoning mechanism, clinical symptoms and the hazard to humans were summarized. Besides, the detection analytical techniques of ciguatoxins are described and compared in detail.%西加毒素是由少数几种海洋底栖微藻产生,具有极强毒性的生物毒素,它能够通过食物链传递而累计在多种珊瑚鱼体内,继而造成人类因食用鱼类而中毒.近年来,随着珊瑚鱼类在世界范围内的广泛贸易,西加毒素中毒已经成为全球性的健康问题.为给预防西加毒素引起的食物中毒提供借鉴,对西加毒素的分子结构、化学性质、生物来源、制毒机理、中毒症状和对人类的危害进行了综述.就目前主要的检测方法进行了技术特性的介绍,并对常用检测方法的优缺点进行了比较分析.
