A tonne of toxic puffer fish seized
(Agencies) - Police said Tuesday they have arrested a man as he was planning to sell more than a tonne of illegal puffer fish, which contain a potent toxin that can kill unsuspecting dinners.
Yongyuth Ngaenvisai, 25, was arrested Monday as he drove a pickup truck containing 1,200 kilogrammes of the fish, also known as globefish or blowfish, to sell at a wholesale market in Samut Songkhram province southwest of Bangkok.
Police Lt Visut Vanijbut said the fish were to be sold to restaurants and made into fish balls, Visut said.
"It's particularly dangerous since people would not know they were eating globefish, because it would be made into fish balls or ground into noodle soup," he said.
The sale of the fish has been banned in Thailand since 2002, after six Thais who ate it died. If convicted, Yongyuth faces six months to two years in prison for illegal possession and distribution of puffer fish, Visut said.
The ovaries, liver and intestines of the puffer fish contain tetrodotoxin, a poison so potent that the US Food and Drug Administration says it can "produce rapid and violent death."
The fish is called fugu in Japan, where it is consumed by thrill-seeking Japanese gourmets for whom the risk of poisoning adds piquancy.
Every year, there are a reports of people dying or falling sick in Asia from eating puffer fish. Eating the fish can cause paralysis, vomiting, heart failure and death.
