WARNING AGAINST POISONOUS
FISH.
Carang
Caught
In
Fish-pots
Apt
1o
Cause
Fish
Poisoning.
September
22,
1918,
an
epidemic
of
sis *poisoning occurred
in St. Thomas.
Investigation
of the
cases
revealed
the
fact that all the
vietims
had
partaken
of
carang,
caught
in deep
sea fish-pot.
lln
all,
34 edses offish poisoning
occurred.
On Tuesday
last October
14,
1919, prac-
tically
the
identical
oeccurrence
was
re-
peated.
Nine
Carangs
weie
caught
in a deep
sea
fish-pot,
and
the eleven
people
who
ate
thjs
fish,
all
were
taken
sick with
fish- poisoning.
It
may
be
stated
that
the
Carangs
caught
on
above
occasions
were identi-
cal in ap
earance
with the ordinary Seine
Carang,
a
distinet species
as
compared
with
the
well
known
poiscnous
yellow-
back
Carang.
°
The
underlying
factors,
causing
fish-
poisoning,
are,
in the majority of cases,
obscure.
In
some
fishes
a well defined
toxin has
been
isolated
whereas
in others
no positive findings have been ascertained.
With regard
to the carang,
the
concen-
sus of opinion on the subje>t;
seems
to be
that this fish at eertain
times is very prose
to
spoliation
with the formation of pois-
onous
subtances.
Due
to the above facts
that
fishpoison-
ing has been caused
two years
in
succes-
sion by eating carang
caught
in deep fish-
pots,
around
the
same
time of the year,
it is
likely that
carangs,
caught
in this
manner
between
the
months
of August
and November,
inclusive
are
poisonous.

Chief Sanitation Officer.
