Fish and seafood are widely available foods that provide important
nutrients to consumers. Research conducted over the past few years
suggests that there are health benefits associated with fish and
seafood consumption, including for the cardiovascular and visual
systems. It was also reported that such a diet increases protection
in infants against arthritis or cancer. Although regular seafood
consumption has been linked to health benefits for the general
population, contaminants that may be present in seafood could pose
a risk to humans. There are a number of contaminants that may be
associated with seafood, including chemicals, metals, toxins and
other substances as well as potentially harmful microbes. Most
seafood contains detectable levels of contaminants because these
are a part of the environment and food chain. This book discusses
shellfish in more detail, including the purification process of
bivalve shellfish; shellfish toxins; phycotoxins and heavy metals
in shellfish; and shellfish sensitivity.
