Hi Ivan and Seafood HACCP List Subscribers:
Appendix 5 of the US FDA's Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards and
Controls Guidance, 3rd Edition has information on pathogens and action
levels in fish and fishery products:
http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~comm/haccp4x5.html
The table of contents for the Guidance is at:
http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~comm/haccp4.html
As I noted the other day, the Guidance is undergoing a revision.
Availability of the revised edition will be announced later on this year.
