Where do you think the garbage from the city of New York goes? How many tons a day do you think they dump at sea? Do you think they and other coastal cities in many other countries as well as Uncle Sam are going to stop doing this anytime soon?

I also fail to see how WW2 cleaned up the ocean in any way. It added a heap to global warming--and fuel is still coming to the surface, as well as unexploded acriflavine etc--the stuff of WW2 vintage did not go away. It is still in there.

Back to ciguatera--in Oz reef waters one does take risks in eating Spanish Mackeral because they are known to carry ciguatera--and they are a pelagic. Some reef fish, notably Red Bass are almost always toxic. There are others considered to be poisonous too. Then we have plenty of fish like Fugu--the giant toadfish so prized by the Japanese--which has killed many who attempted to eat the flesh, but this is a different poison to ciguatera. Coral Trout can be ciguatera toxic in Oz but it is not usual.
