The means (O) and standard deviations (vertical lines) are presented. RESULTS Stick test analysis of positive fishes from clinically documented ciguatera poisoning and negative consumed fishes The assessment of the validity of the stick test in the detection of toxic fishes is summarized in Figure 2. Sixteen clinically implicated raw_and cooked (tissues, soup, and gravy) fish samples examined by the stick test gave a x ± of ± while 60 non-toxic consumed fishes gave a x ± of ± stick test value (Fig. 2). The difference between these two categories was highly significant with P < Examination of 2 samples of Thunnus thynnus gave a stick test value of ± This value was significantly different from the positive values with P < Thunnus thynnus, a pelagic fish, has not been implicated in ciguatera poisoning. On the basis of this study, the interpretation of the stick test values has been derived and desig- nated as follows: +, negative; +, borderline; and values greater than + as positive (Fig. 2)..
