Type of article: Article

Summary

Public health issues associated with seafoods can be grouped as: environmentally induced (i.e., natural or anthropogenic); process-induced; distribution-induced;consumer-induced hazards. Similarly, loss of habitat and ecosystem degradation threaten the future viability of fisheries. In the United States, large-scale legislative efforts are underway to reexamine regulatory food control systems. New scientific bridges are needed to close the gaps between the scientific community and society concerning the effects of anthropogenic impacts on seafood safety and the health of coastal habitats and associated fishery resources. Protecting, conserving, and restoring the health and safety of fisheries resources will require an integrated approach of food science and fishery science.
