TABLE 3-1

POTENTIAL VERTEBRATE SPECIES RELATED HAZARDS

Note: ASP = amnesic shellfish poison; CFP = ciguatera fish poison; G = gempylotoxin; PSP = paralytic shellfish poison; T = tetrodotoxin.

Note: This table does not provide information about methyl mercury, which may be a potential species related hazard in some species of vertebrate fish. FDA policy concerning this matter is under re-evaluation. See Chapter 10 (Methyl Mercury) for further information.
