► Description: |
Seafood Safety and Quality continues to
be a major public health issue and its
importance has escalated to unprecedented
levels in recent years. In this book,
major seafood borne diseases and key
safety issues are reviewed. In addition,
emerging microbial agents, fish toxins and
other contaminants including heavy metal;
allergy, water safety and related topics
are discussed. It also addresses the
challenges faced by both developed and
developing countries to ensure seafood
safety in new seafood products and
processing technologies, seafood trade,
safety of foods derived from
biotechnology, microbiological risks,
emergence of new and antibioticresistant
pathogens, particularly from emerging
pathogens, directing research to areas of
high-risk, focus intervention and
establishment of target risk levels and
target diseases or pathogens. The book
serves as a comprehensive resource on the
seafood borne diseases and a wide variety
of responsible etiologic agents, including
bacteria, viruses, parasites, seafood
toxins, and environmental toxins. It has
been written in a simple manner and should
promote the efforts of the scientific
community to deliver safe seafood for a
better health and environment. Read
