Ciguatera fish poisoning is solely caused by the consumption of seafood contaminated with
toxins produced by dinoflagellate microalgae, particularly Gambierdiscus toxicus. While
there are isolated reports of ciguatera fish poisoning resulting from consumption of nonfinfish
species, the disease is usually caused by the consumption of large finfish species from
circumtropical regions.
