Fish Protein
Specific IgE and skin prick tests to fish likely to be positive in those with disease.

Antigen exposures are highest during fishmeal production and bagging. 

Fish ELISA assays possible for anchovy and pilchard to quantify differential exposure levels to fish antigens produced during fish processing.

Fishmeal can also be a problem.

Oasys Notifications for Fish

The Oasys Audit scheme started midway through 2010 and collects agents typed in through the Oasys program. The years before 2010 show old data entered during 2010 or later and are likely to have many fewer notifications. We expect Oasys to become more widely adopted as time goes by so increasing notifications does not necessarily mean an increasing problem.
