摘要：
Moray eels (Gymnothorax spp.) from Johnston Island, the Society Islands, Okinawa, and Hawaii were screened for ciguatera by mongoose feeding. The livers of all eels from a ciguateric area and the toxic extracts were assayed by i.p. injection in mice. Comparison of toxicity levels showed that livers of all eels from a ciguateric area are toxic, regardless of the results of the screening test on the eel flesh. It further showed that the toxicity level of the livers is approximately the same from 'nontoxic' (zero rating) and moderately toxic (three rating) eels. The results of the study on Okinawan eels present a special situation, which is discussed. © 1969.
