What comes around, go around. The crud we dump in the oceans is now coming around for dinner. Every year, more seafood in Hong Kong is contaminated by toxic pollutants. Cases of tainted coral fish - - which includes cod, garoupa and snapper - - have multiplied almost nine times since 1989. Fourteen cases of paralytic shellfish poisoning, virtually unknown in previous years, were reported in the first quarter of 1994. And the problem of ocean pollution entering the food chain isn’t confined to Hong Kong. The territory’s health inspectors have also monitored catches from Indonesian and Malaysian waters. Says Assistant Director of Health Mohammed Ali: “We found it affects seafood regionally and globally.”
People who have eaten contaminated seafood experience weakness, nausea, dizziness, and blurred vision. To avoid poisoning, good hygiene is important . All seafood should be thoroughly washed and cleaned, and cooked completely. Avoid eating the internal organs of fish, where toxins tend to concentrate. And don’t eat big portions of fish or shellfish in one sitting.
