Two species of freshwater puffer fish, Tetraodon cutcutia and Chelonodon patoca, collected from several locations in Bangladesh, showed lethal potency in mice ranging from 2.0 to 40.0 MU/g tissue as paralytic shellfish poison. In both species, toxicity of the skin was generally higher than the other tissues examined (muscle, liver and ovary). Water-soluble toxins from T. cutcutia were partially purified by activated charcoal treatment followed by column chromatographies using Bio-Gel P-2 and Bio-Rex 70. Analyses by cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorometric detection demonstrated that the toxins were composed of saxitoxin, decarbamoylsaxitoxin, gonyautoxins 2 and 3, decarbamoylgonyautoxins 2 and 3, and three unidentified components which are possibly related to paralytic shellfish poison.
