Present review focuses on the overall view of the marine toxicity in the recent times and their repercussions on human health.

Especially, the number of cases involving intoxication caused due to consumption of poisonous sea foods like fish, oysters and claims have increased bringing in unknown toxins or new analogue of known toxins, thus increasing the scope to investigate the marine environment. Harmful algal blooms and their effects on the other edible marine organisms is also of major concern as it directly affects the economy of many coastal belts and so the effect of algal blooms is highlighted.
