		The importance of Vibrios and related bacteria in tropical waters Author(s): Roberts, S. Year: 1997 ISSN: 1013-9877 Notes: South Pacific Journal of Natural Science, 15, 1-19 Held at: USP ASFA Subject(s): Taxonomy, Microorganisms, Marine molluscs, Shellfish, Water temperature, Public health, Sewage, Brackish water, Fresh water, Sea water, Tropical environment Abstract: Vibrios and related microorganisms are an important source of infection, both in temperate and tropical waters. Many of these organisms can survive in seawater and freshwater without a host, particularly in areas of high sewage outfall. In addition, these organisms can be accumulated by bivalve molluscs and if eaten raw or semi-cooked, can pose a serious health threat. Water temperature may also be an important factor, as vibrios of medical importance tend to be more prevalent in tropical than temperate waters. Brackish waters may support the growth of vibrios, an area which can also support the growth of bivalve molluscs. This article outlines the taxonomy, isolation and identification of vibrio-type microorganisms and examines the possible implications of these organisms in aquatic tropical and semi-tropical regions.

		Mercury levels in Fijian seafoods and potential health implications Author(s): Kumar, M., Mosley, L., Aalbersberg, B. Publisher: USP Institute of Applied Science Year: 2004 Notes: Report prepared for the World Health Organization. Held at: USP ASFA Subject(s): Bioaccumulation, Poisonous fish, Epidemiology, Public health, Fish fillets, Canned products, Seafood, Mercury Abstract: Seafoods are a significant part of the diet of most Pacific Islanders. Some types of seafoods, however, can contain very high levels of mercury since it accumulates in the food chain. Large predatory fish such as marlin, swordfish, shark and tuna typically have the highest levels of mercury. This poses health risks when these species are consumed by humans (particularly pregnant women). This study measured the total mercury content in the edible tissues of 200 samples of different types of seafood (whole fish, fish steaks and canned fish) consumed in Fiji. In some of the large predatory species (marlin and swordfish) the mercury content exceeded the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius guideline of 1 mg/kg. A positive correlation between mercury levels and the length of yellowfin tuna was noted, but not for albacore tuna. Smaller fish, shellfish and canned fish had average levels below the guidelines. Safe consumption levels of the large predatory species are given and further studies are recommended. Control No.: 00013817.nul
