Bibliography on Toxicity and Fish Diseases in the Philippine Fishes

Food poisoning has been a problem in the Philippines.
Asakawa et al (2007) reported an incident in Pangasinan of food poisoning due to ingestion of grapsid crab Metograpsus latifrons (White). This is just one of the many incidents in the Philippines on food poisoning.
To help researchers in their work on food poisoning, caused by aquatic organisms, this bibliography was made.
By fishes here means: fishes, shellfishes, and other macro-aquatic organisms.
