龙利鱼背后的越南奸商和越南污染
||
前几天和老婆去麦德龙，看到冰冻的龙利鱼片，老婆说这是深海鱼，给孩子吃很好。可是当我看到袋子上备注的“鲶属”心里就犯嘀咕了，鲶鱼都是污水里面的淡水鱼，怎么就深海了？那么究竟什么是龙利鱼呢？
首先百度百科了一下，是这么说的：
龙利鱼也叫踏板鱼、牛舌鱼，鳎目鱼、龙半滑舌鳎。个头硕大的龙利鱼，有男人的肩膀那么宽，个头也有女孩子的身高那么高。龙利鱼肉质细嫩营养丰富、属于出肉率高、味道鲜美的优质 海洋鱼类。特别值得一提的是，龙利鱼只有中间的脊骨，刺又少、肉又多，几乎没有任何鱼腥味，香煎来吃味道真是棒极了。
龙利鱼俗称牛舌头，是一种暖温性近海大型底层鱼类，具广温、广盐和适应多变的环境条件的特点，适温范围3.5—32℃，最适水温14—24℃，适盐范围14-33‰。终年生活栖息在我国近海海区。
中文学名：龙利鱼
别称：牛舌头
界：动物界
目：鲽形目
科：舌鳎科
属：舌鳎属
分布区域：分布在中国近海海区
养专家称，龙利鱼作为优质海洋鱼类，其脂肪中含有不饱和脂肪酸，具有抗动脉粥样硬化之功效，对防治心脑血管疾病和增强记忆颇有益处。同时据营养测定，龙利鱼中的欧米加－3脂肪酸，可以抑制眼睛里的自由基，防止新血管的形成，降低晶体炎症的发生，这就是它又被称为“护眼鱼肉”的原因。所以它还特别适合整天面对电脑的上班族作为健康保健品。

再看看图片，貌似和比目鱼是亲戚哦，而且真的是营养丰富的深海鱼。不过外包装袋上那个“鲶”字很让我疑惑啊，买不买呢？
查查英文资料，发现真正的龙利鱼应该是“Flounder”，再看看超市中标有“鲶属”的所谓龙利鱼袋子上的英文名字是：“Pangas”，好吧google一下，貌似出问题了：这个所谓的“Pangas”根本不是深海的龙利鱼，而是一种产于越南和泰国的BASA fish，淡水鱼。产于越南湄公河下游高度污染地区。因为BASA fish super cheap，目前中餐馆的鱼菜（糟溜鱼片，水煮鱼，酸菜鱼之类）基本都是BASA fish，不信下次吃，品尝时小心在意，您就一定知道了。当然先尝一下中国店所谓冰冻龙利鱼片，然后可以比较。鲶鱼的照片我就不贴了，大家几乎都吃过。。。。。。
google出来的原文如下：
Don’t Eat this fish: Pangas (Pangasius, Vietnamese River Cobbler, White Catfish, Gray Sole)
别吃这种鱼！
Cheap cheap fish! The above is an ad (from one of the large supermarket chains in France) for the fish known as Pangas (also called, Pangasius, Vietnamese River Cobbler, Basa Fish and White Catfish, Tra, Gray Sole). It was a reminder to tell you about the dangers of this strange but increasingly popular fish. I learned about them and how they’re raised a while ago on an informative documentary online here: Documentary about Pangas. (which is in French. If you don’t speak French, read below.)
便宜的鱼啊！上面的是个有名的法国超市的广告，大家把这种鱼叫做龙利鱼。要提醒一下大家，吃这种奇怪却日益流行的鱼是很危险的！我在一个网站上发现了它们的养殖环境。
Would the French call it Poisson ou poison?
Industrially farmed in Vietnam along the Mekong River, Pangas or whatever they’re calling it, has only been recently introduced to the French market. However, in a very short amount of time, it has grown in popularity in France. The French are slurping up Pangas like it’s their last meal of soup noodles. They are very, very affordable (cheap), are sold in filets with no bones and they have a neutral (bland) flavor and texture; many would compare it to cod and sole, only much cheaper. But as tasty as some people may find it, there’s, in fact, something hugely unsavory about it. I hope the information provided here will serve as very important information for you and your future choices. Here’s why I think it is better left in the shops (and not on your dinner plates):
龙利鱼是在越南的湄公河里养殖的。最近才引进入法国，却一下子变得很受欢迎。法国人疯了一样的抢购它。这种鱼很便宜，而且鱼排没有骨头，味道也很可以接受。很多人觉得它吃起来像鳕鱼或比目鱼，价格却便宜一大截。下面的信息很重要，希望能影响到你和你未来的选择，最好让这些鱼就留在商店里，而不是你的餐桌上
1. Pangas are teeming with high levels of poisons and bacteria. (industrial effluents, arsenic, and toxic and hazardous by-products of the growing industrial sector, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its metabolites (DDTs), metal contaminants, chlordane-related compounds (CHLs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), and hexachlorobenzene (HCB)). The reasons are that the Mekong River is one of the most polluted rivers on the planet and this is where pangas are farmed and industries along the river dump chemicals and industrial waste directly into it. To Note: a friend lab tests these fish and tells us to avoid eating them due to high amounts of contamination. Regardless of the reports and recommendations against selling them, the supermarkets still sell them to the general public knowing they are contaminated.
龙利鱼包含高浓度的毒素和细菌（工业污染，生长在越南工业区，各种化学药品和金属都在那条河里）。越南的湄公河是地球上污染最严重的地方，而龙利鱼就长在这里。河岸边的工厂直接往河里倾倒各种化学和工业废料。注意：一个朋友的实验室做过龙利鱼的实验，发现里面高污染。问题是，虽然大众都知道这鱼是被污染的，而超市仍然在卖。
2. They freeze Pangas in contaminated river water. Ew.用来冷冻龙利鱼的水也是受了污染的河水。)
3. Pangas are not environmentally sustainable, a most unsustainable food you could possibly eat – “Buy local” means creating the least amount of environmental harm as possible. This is the very opposite end of the spectrum of sustainable consumerism. Pangas are raised in Vietnam. Pangas are fed food that comes from Peru (more on that below), their hormones (which are injected into the female Pangas) come from China. (More about that below) and finally, they are transported from Vietnam to France. That’s not just a giant carbon foot print, that’s a carbon continent of a foot print.
龙利鱼不环保。估计能是最不环保的东西了。--大家要多吃当地食物。龙利鱼长在越南，而吃的东西却来自秘鲁，激素来自帝国。然后再运输到法国。这得排放多少的碳啊。
4. There’s nothing natural about Pangas – They’re fed dead fish remnants and bones, dried and ground into a flour, from South America, manioc (cassava) and residue from soy and grains. This kind of nourishment doesn’t even remotely resemble what they eat in nature. But what it does resemble is the method of feeding mad cows (cows were fed cows, remember?) What they feed pangas is completely unregulated so there are most likely other dangerous substances and hormones thrown into the mix. The pangas grow at a speed light (practically!): 4 times faster than in nature…so it makes you wonder what exactly is in their food? Your guess is as good as mine.
龙利鱼的生长是反自然的。他们用死鱼来喂龙利鱼。（疯牛病不就是用牛肉喂牛而产生的么。）
5. Pangas are Injected with Hormones Derived from Urine – I don’t know how someone came up with this one out but they’ve discovered that if they inject female Pangas with hormones made from the dehydrated urine of pregnant women, the female Pangas grow much quicker and produce eggs faster (one Panga can lay approximately 500,000 eggs at one time). Essentially, they’re injecting fish with hormones (they come all of the way from a pharmaceutical company in China) to speed up the process of growth and reproduction. That isn’t good. Some of you might not mind eating fish injected with dehydrated pee so if you don’t good for you, but just consider the rest of the reasons to NOT eat it.
龙利鱼的激素来自尿。不知人们怎么有的这个注意，但是他们发现如果往母的龙利鱼身体里注射怀孕女人的尿提取出的激素的话，母鱼能长得更快，繁殖更快。一只龙利鱼每次能有五十万个卵。
6. You get what you pay for – and then some. Don’t be lured in by insanely cheap price of Pangas. Is it worth risking your health and the health of your family?
一分钱一分货。
7. Buying Pangas supports unscrupulous, greedy evil corporations and food conglomerates that don’t care about the health and well-being of human beings. They only are concerned about selling as many pangas as possible to unsuspecting consumers. These corporations only care about selling and making more money at whatever cost to the public.8. Pangas will make you sick – If (for reasons in #1 above) you don’t get immediately ill with vomiting, diarrhea and effects from severe food poisoning, congratulations, you have an iron stomach! But you’re still ingesting POISON not poisson.Final important note: Because of the prodigious amount of availability of Pangas, be warned that they will certainly find their way into other foods: surimi (those pressed fish things, imitation crab sticks), fish sticks, fish terrines, and probably in some pet foods. (Warn your dogs and cats and hamsters and gerbils and even your pet fish!)
购买龙利鱼就鼓励了奸商。

再看看另外一篇越南人写的：
Cause of Death: Consumption of Basa Fish
This article is written a Guest Blogger Kimberly Truong. Kimberly is currently an English graduate student at Cal State Fullerton.
Is it possible that the after-school fish stick snacks you have been feeding your child could possibly be contaminated with deadly metals such as mercury?! Unfortunately, the answer is YES. The dangers of consuming too much fish are usually paired with the not-so-rare disease hydrargyria (better known as mercury poisoning) but now it seems that there’s a new danger to this delicious after-school snack and ambient dinner main course.
A popular frozen fish product imported from Vietnam called basa fish just made the “Do Not Consume” list. Basa fish (known in the UK as Vietnamese river cobbler) is a type of catfish that is farmed in pens along the Mekong River. Basa fish is known for its mild taste and flaky white meat and is becoming the preferred type of fish among consumers because of its “cleaner” and almost bland taste compared to other types of farm-raised fish.
Consumers in The United States were introduced to basa fish in 1994 after the trade embargo with Vietnam was finally lifted. It was not a popular choice at first, but now it is a great competition for domestic catfish farmers. This is because basa fish is cheaper than catfish, has similar taste, and the quality of it is not any less. The quick rise in the basa fish’s popularity created the “Catfish War” in The United States.
A few years after the spike in popularity of basa fish, scientists discovered the danger of its consumption. Basa fish are farmed along the Mekong River—one of the most polluted rivers in the world. Large manufacturers planted along this river frequently dump extremely toxic and dangerous chemicals and industrial waste directly into it. In June of 2001, the US Food and Drug Administration imposed increased and more thorough testing on Southeast Asian farm-raised seafood including the basa fish after repeatedly discovering fish contaminated with heavy metals and banned antibiotics.
In March 2007, The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service surveyed 100 fish from this river and detected 14 antimicrobial chemicals at low levels, including sulphonamides, tetracyclines, malachite green, penicillin, quinolones, flouroquinolones and phenicols antimicrobial chemical groups. Regarding these findings, Peter Collignon, director of microbiology and infectious diseases at the Australian National University medical school reports that “this means [that] antibiotics were used in the production of those fish… [and] superbugs can develop and they can remain [in the fish] and come across to people and cause problems.”
Farmed basa fish are not fed their natural foods. They are fed the bones and remnants of dead fish usually after a period of time after the fishes’ deaths—giving time for bacteria to grow and infect the “basa fish food.” These farmed fish are also often injected with dehydrated urine of pregnant women forcing female basa fish to grow and produce eggs quicker and the injection of hormones, imported from a pharmaceutical company in China, increases the speed of the growth and production processes of the fish. Farmers of these fish are only concerned with the progression rates and the income these fish bring in with no concern for the consumers.
To summarize everything in a few words: basa fish may be poisonous!
Side effects include vomiting, diarrhea and other effects that often stem from food poisoning. True, there may be a few out there who are able to tolerate the fish without having to suffer these side effects, but you should be aware of the health precautions.
Hopefully from now on, you will be aware of the potential risks basa fish poses to your health. It’s easy enough when you’re shopping for fresh fish, but be especially aware when buying packaged seafood like imitation crab, fish sticks, fish terrines, and even pet food. Simply flip the package to the back and check the list of ingredients to make sure that basa fish isn’t an ingredient.
Is saving a few pennies a pound worth the risk of exposing your family to such deadly fish? There is a chance the fish are completely clean and will cause no problems, but considering the risks, is it worth it to assume the fish are uncontaminated when it comes to your loved-ones? Keep in mind that if a price is too good to be true, most likely, it IS too good to be true!
