Résumé

L'origine et la nature probable de la toxicité chez deux espèces de poissons (Fugu etLagocephalus) a été étudiée. Les tissus énumérés dans l'ordre de toxicité décroissant sont les gonades, le foie et les muscles, avec une différence entre les deux sexes, les tissus mâle étant plus toxiques que les tissus femelles. On a éliminé la toxicité par un traitement thermique prolongé et maintenu à 120 °C.
