Abstract

THE tropical fish poisoning known as ‘ciguatera’, which is clearly different from the well-documented tetraodon poisoning, has long been known in the Pacific. Its narrow regional appearance and its variability within a given species of marine fish have been puzzling phenomena. The symptoms associated with ciguatera have been well described, but fundamental knowledge of the toxin is virtually non-existent. The present state of this problem has recently been reviewed by Randall1.
