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...
A method for the enumeration of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in oysters that is more reliable than the Australian Standard most probable number (MPN) method was developed. The improved MPN method was also shown to be superior to a plate count on a widely used selective agar medium.
