Moray eels ( species) from tropical waters have long been known to be high-risk species, and the consumption of particularly the viscera or ungutted eels can result in severe ciguatera (known as or moray eel poisoning), characterized by prominent neurological features. In this review, the main objective was to describe the risk and severity of ciguatera caused by eating moray eels in different parts of the world. Moray eels can accumulate very high ciguatoxin (CTX) levels in the flesh and particularly the liver. Therefore, even the smaller ones can be toxic and the consumption of an average portion (particularly liver) can result in severe or fatal ciguatera. Moray eels (particularly when ungutted) must never be served in gatherings since they can cause mass poisoning because of their large sizes and high CTX levels. Apart from regulatory measures restricting or excluding access, the public should be repeatedly warned to avoid eating moray eels.
长期以来，人们一直认为来自热带水域的海鳝（物种）是高风险物种，食用尤其是其内脏或未去内脏的海鳝会导致严重的雪卡毒中毒（又称海鳝中毒），其特征是具有明显的神经症状。在本综述中，主要目的是描述在世界不同地区食用海鳝引起的雪卡毒中毒的风险和严重程度。海鳝的鱼肉尤其是肝脏中会积累非常高的雪卡毒素（CTX）水平。因此，即使是较小的海鳝也可能有毒，食用一份普通份量（尤其是肝脏）就可能导致严重或致命的雪卡毒中毒。海鳝（尤其是未去内脏时）绝不能在聚会上提供，因为它们体型大且CTX水平高，可能会导致群体中毒。除了限制或禁止获取的监管措施外，还应反复警告公众避免食用海鳝。
