Comparison of EIA Results between Flesh and Liver Tissues from the Same Species. Table III summarizes the differences in the ciguatoxin activity between flesh and liver from the same fish sample in species of fishes obtained from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Significant differences in the ratios (p <0.05 to <0.01) were shown for all four species examined. In each instance the liver showed a higher ratio, especially in the Bodianus and Caranx species. All of these fishes have been implicated in ciguatera poisoning in Hawaii, especially the Caranx species.
