    >>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.
