Abstract

[Extract] Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) is commonly consumed throughout India, South-east Asia and Australia, as well as increasingly being marketed into North America and Europe. Paralleling this growing global consumption of Asian seabass, and seafood in general, is the increasing prevalence of human allergic reactions to fish products. Allergic reactions to Asian seabass, and other bony fish, are primarily caused by the small Ca²⁺ binding muscle protein parvalbumin and what we currently know about this protein in Asian seabass and how it differs from other commonly consumed fish species.
