    Seafish Guidance Note - Parasites in fish. January 2012.

    Karen Green, Fiona Wright, Peter Wilson

    Fish and fish products have known health benefits. The UK Government advice is that adults should consume at least two portions of fish a week, one of which should be oily. Research shows that the known benefits of eating fish and fish products hugely outweigh any possible risks, however there are concerns that fish and fish products may contain parasites that pose risks to human health if not processed or handled correctly. This guidance note looks at processing control methods, fish that are exempt from treatment and the differences between wild and farmed fish. Revised January 2012.
