Human health, legislative and socioeconomic issues caused by the fish-borne zoo...
Bao, Miguel; Pierce, Graham J.; Strachan, Norval J.C.; Pascual, Santiago; González-Muñoz, Miguel; Levsen, ArneBackground: Nematodes of the genus Anisakis parasitize many commercial fish species and are responsible for a fish-borne zoonosis (anisakiasis) and allergic reactions. Anisakis can also cause consumer distrust in fishery products and economic losses to the fish industry. Scope and approach: We review current socioeconomic, legislative, risk management and human health problems caused by the occurrence of Anisak...
Conceptual and practical advances in fish stock delineation
Pita, Alfonso; Casey, John; Hawkins, Stephen J.; Villarreal, Manuel Ruiz; Gutiérrez, María-José; Cabral, Henrique; Carocci, Fabio; Abaunza, PabloThe fish stock delineation concept has now evolved informed by knowledge affordable from a variety of new genetic and geochemical life cycle tracers in addition to traditional morphometric, parasitological and life history trait approaches. These can be coupled with better definition of oceanographic processes enhanced by GIS-related modelling tools. Population structure and stock delineation are central consid...
Optimization of the pepsin digestion method for anisakids inspection in the fis...
Llarena-Reino, María; Piñeiro, Carmen; Antonio, José; Outeriño, Luis; Vello, Carlos; González, Ángel F.; Pascual, SantiagoDuring the last 50 years human anisakiasis has been rising while parasites have increased their prevalence at determined fisheries becoming an emergent major public health problem. Although artificial enzymatic digestion procedure by CODEX (STAN 244-2004: standard for salted Atlantic herring and salted sprat) is the recommended protocol for anisakids inspection, no international agreement has been achieved in v...
The accuracy of visual inspection for preventing risk of Anisakis spp. infectio...
Llarena-Reino, María; González, Ángel F.; Vello, Carlos; Outeiriño, Luis; Pascual, SantiagoThe importance of the zoonoses caused by L3 Anisakidae larvae lies in the repercussion that this parasite exerts on food safety and quality. EU legislation recommends fish operators to do visual inspection of the whole fish abdominal cavity and gut to control the risk of visible parasites, thus ensuring that no contaminated fish reach the consumers. The accuracy of the above visual inspection method should fall...
