Non-market values to inform decision-making and reporting in fisheries and aquaculture – an audit and gap analysis

This study examined the issues around non-market values requirements and identified potential sources of robust and defensible estimates of key values, including those generally viewed as difficult to measure. The project identified thirteen types of non-market values that fisheries and...

An assessment in an animal model of the ability of mannitol and other possible antagonists to reverse the neural symptomatology of ciguatera poisoning

This is the final report for two Fishing Research and Development Grants, 1987-058 and 1988-029. Both grants provided funds for research on Ciguatera poisoning and Ciguatoxin. Experimental studies were conducted on fish and mammals. Both grants are specifically related to ciguatera poisoning and...

Summary

This is the final report for two Fishing Research and Development Grants, 1987-058 and 1988-029.

Both grants provided funds for research on Ciguatera poisoning and Ciguatoxin. Experimental studies were conducted on fish and mammals.

Both grants are specifically related to ciguatera poisoning and both will be discussed in this combined report. The format of the report is such that it gives an overview of ciguatera based on the literature, a general methods section in which the extraction and partial purification of CTX from fish is described and then sections that address how each of the specific research objectives of the initial proposals were met. At the end of the report significant outcomes and directions for future research are presented.
