Description:
The outline for this presentation includes (1) cultural context for considerations of seafood safety (2) complexity of the public health issues and (3) answers to questions about public health. Nutrient and pollution content of fish and shellfish were examined in a biometric study along Washington’s coast. To learn about chemical exposure in two high seafood consuming populations, the team interviewed Washington’s Korean and Japanese communities on their seafood consumption rates. Fish consumption in these two communities were well over the grams/person/day consumption rates of the general U.S. population. Information relating fish contaminants and adverse health effects are also shown through graphs and tables.
