Abstract
Anatoxin-a is a globally occurring, yet understudied, chiral cyanobacterial toxin that threatens public health and the environment. It has led to numerous dog. livestock and bird poisonings and although it has been studied in rodent models, comparatively little research has occurred in aquatic species. To advance a comparative toxicology understanding of this toxin in alternative vertebrate models, developing zebrafish and fathead minnow were exposed to environmentally relevant and elevated levels (13–4400 μg/L) of (+) anatoxin-a to examine potential mortality and sublethal effects, including photolocomotor behavior and gene expression responses. We observed significantly higher mortality (p
