    I've been asked about possible effects of transport stress on product
    safety of aquacultured fish. These people are talking about release of
    "histamine and other toxic compounds" in fish during trasport to
    slaughtering house, and are concerned about possible effects of this stress
    on fish safety. I checked the literature, but just found effects of stress
    on fish quality (texture, onset and duration or rigor mortis an so on) and
    nothing about this histamine stress-related formation.

    Any information would be really appreciated.
