Ciguatera toxin poisoning is the most common fin fish poisoning in the world.  Through the combination of increased global consumption of tropical reef fish and enhanced fresh seafood distribution networks, fresh fish markets the world over now have access to tropical reef fish and their predators within hours after being caught.  This creates an increased potential for ciguatera poisonings.  Once just a problem of tropical regions, ciguatera poisoning is now a world wide concern.
