Between 2014 and 2016, five cases of ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP), involving twenty four individuals, were linked to Spanish Mackerel () caught in the coastal waters of the state of New South Wales (NSW) on the east coast of Australia. Previously, documented cases of CFP in NSW were few, and primarily linked to fish imported from other regions. Since 2015, thirteen individuals were affected across four additional CFP cases in NSW, linked to fish imported from tropical locations. The apparent increase in CFP in NSW from locally sourced catch, combined with the risk of CFP from imported fish, has highlighted several considerations that should be incorporated into risk management strategies to minimize CFP exposure for seafood consumers.
2014 年至 2016 年间，澳大利亚东海岸新南威尔士州沿海捕获的西班牙鲭鱼（）导致了五例雪卡鱼中毒（CFP）病例，涉及 24 人。此前，新南威尔士州记录的 CFP 病例较少，主要与从其他地区进口的鱼类有关。自 2015 年以来，新南威尔士州又发生了四起与进口热带鱼类有关的 CFP 病例，共有 13 人受到影响。新南威尔士州本地捕获的 CFP 病例明显增加，加上进口鱼类引发 CFP 的风险，突显了在风险管理策略中应考虑的几个问题，以尽量减少海鲜消费者接触 CFP 的风险。
