In the same study farm-raised salmon did not have any roundworm larvae. [69] Historically, parasite infection of humans eating raw fish has been rare in the developed world, though a 2020 meta-analysis of available data shows that since 1980 there has been a sharp increase of parasites in the types of marine fish that are eaten uncooked.

The presence of mercury in fish is a health concern for people who eat them, especially for women who are or may become pregnant, nursing mothers, and young children. Fish and shellfish concentrate mercury in their bodies, often in the form of methylmercury, a highly toxic organomercury compound.
Tilapia tilapinevirus, or Tilapia lake virus ( TiLV ), is a negative-strand RNA virus that infects both wild and aquacultured populations of tilapia. [2] It is the only species in the monotypic genus Tilapinevirus, which in turn is the only genus in the family Amnoonviridae. [3] Thus far it has been recorded in various regions across Asia ...
Tilapia (/ t ɪ ˈ l ɑː p i ə / tih-LAH-pee-ə) is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the coelotilapine, coptodonine, heterotilapine, oreochromine, pelmatolapiine, and tilapiine tribes (formerly all were "Tilapiini"), with the economically most important species placed in the Coptodonini and Oreochromini.
