I have no idea about Barracuda caught around Belize but US fishing boat captains in the Gulf and Atlantic oceans don't keep Barracuda to eat because of the toxin Ciguatera.

My son and I were fishing out of Port Carnaveral aboard the Sea Wrangler in July 2009. Russ caught a 4 foot Barrcuda and captain Joe released it because he warned of the toxin Ciguatera.

He also warned if we travel to the Bahamas that they serve Barracuda in restaurants because local fisherman there sell them to eat.

We passed a Trident nuclear sub leaving port that morning. Trident sub base is right accross from that marina north on NASA'a property.

Barracuda Gone Bad: Ciguatera Fish Poisoning
­

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) places barracuda at the top of its list of predatory fish consumers ought to avoid. This is because large, predatory fish that live near reefs, like barracudas, have a greater chance of passing along ciguatera fish poisoning. As its name implies, the poisoning is caused by a substance called ciguatoxin. Though ciguatera fish poisoning can stir up a highly uncomfortable spectrum of symptoms, it's rarely fatal.

Certain types of algae that breed in deep tropical waters produce ciguat­oxin. More specifically, it comes from a one-celled organism called dinoflagellate that breeds on different kinds of algae. Since barracudas are carnivores, they don't consume the ciguatera-tainted algae directly. The small fish that barracuda feed on, such as tuna, herring and anchovies, eat the algae; then, the ciguatera enters the barracuda's system as it digests the fish. While barracudas process the ciguatera, the poison accumulates in their flesh, fat and viscera

Crisp, are you a marine biologist?

Crisp, are you a marine biologist?

In atypical cases, ciguatera fish poisoning can produce permanent nerve and cardiovascular damage.

Jeremy, our deck hand was a young man doing his residency at UCF in Orlando. He had all the facts on the toxin and was seroius about what we were warned about.

Guess I'll have to find one who knows Belize fish biology.

I agree with Jeremy; it's dangerous there, and he should move away from Orlando (no baby gators there).

Talking about fish toxin. Not low T in gators.

Gees, Crisp.  You have tunnel vision.  Maybe I should tweet: "Ciguatera has very low incidence in Belize, and is limited to very large fish."

Please tell Jeremy for me.  
BTW, he's a physician-in-training, not a real doctor.

  Guess my following just dropped by one (if I ever adopt tweeting).

Remind you of an alternator argument in South Carolina?

No CAT, you have to have an account (@Chechem) first before anyone can follow you...

Start a twitter account and I will gladly follow and I bet XBAMA, navychief, and rueben and others will as well. I talked to WV about starting one as well.
