Intoxications due to sea animals in the Marquesas seem to be relatively frequent in this archipelago. Fish consumption under rarely realized favorable conditions does not induce intoxications. Although statistics are hazardous in Polynesia, the phenomena seem to progress from East to West, and to be cyclic, with a regression phase at the end of 1973. Two complementary syndromes have been isolated: -- one is primary, neuro-sensory, and is prevalent in the case of toxic crustaceans, molluscs or echinoderms consumption. Hemorragic signs are sometimes observed in the case of consumption of fish provoking an unusual toxi-infection. The specificity of the toxic species has not been demonstrated. -- the other one is secondary and presents the characteristics of transistory myalgiae and the strange neuropathic picture of "la Contamine" of Ua-Pou.
在马克萨斯群岛，因海洋动物导致的中毒现象在这个群岛似乎相对频繁。在极少实现的有利条件下食用鱼类不会引发中毒。尽管在波利尼西亚统计数据存在不确定性，但这些现象似乎从东向西发展，且呈周期性，在1973年底有一个消退阶段。已分离出两种互补综合征：——一种是原发性的，神经感觉性的，在食用有毒甲壳类动物、软体动物或棘皮动物的情况下较为普遍。在食用引发异常毒感染的鱼类时，有时会观察到出血迹象。有毒物种的特异性尚未得到证实。——另一种是继发性的，表现为短暂性肌痛的特征以及乌阿普岛“拉孔塔明”那种奇怪的神经病变症状。
