(2) 氣候變化與食物安全

 

氣候變化為食物安全領域帶來了新挑戰。糧食及農業組織已提出,必須充分關注如何因應極端天氣事件所引起的情況確保食物安全和做好準備,而國際社會對此的關注亦有所提高。

 

詳情請參閱以下網頁:

(3) 雪卡毒素及珊瑚魚

 

雪卡毒魚類中毒是全球最常見的其中一種海產食源性中毒,糧食及農業組織(糧農組織)估計,全球每年有一萬至五萬人感染該疾病。珊瑚魚因直接或間接進食有毒微藻(干比亞藻)而變得具有毒性,人類吃了這些珊瑚魚會引致雪卡毒魚類中毒。有關的微藻會產生毒素(稱為雪卡毒素),主要在熱帶或亞熱帶的特定水域生長。

 

有關市民及業界預防雪卡毒魚類中毒的建議,請參閱以下網頁:

(3) Ciguatoxins and Coral Reef Fish

 

Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is one of the most common types of marine food-borne poisoning worldwide; the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated that 10 000 to 50 000 people worldwide annually suffer from this illness. CFP is caused by the consumption of coral reef fish that have become toxic from feeding directly or indirectly on toxic microalgae (Gambierdiscus toxicus)). The microalgae produce toxins known as ciguatoxins and the occurrence of these microalgae are mainly confined to specific patches of oceans in the tropics or subtropics

 

For advice to the public and trade on the prevention of ciguatera fish poisoning, please click into the webpage for details:
