Recent evidence has shown that tetrodotoxin (the poison present with fugu) is produced by certain bacteria and that these are the source of the toxin in pufferfish like fugu. It is speculated that the fugu picked up the bacteria by consuming other animals were contaminated with the bacteria - which doesn't hurt them because they have developed an immunity to the toxin. Some aquaculture farmers manage to produce "toxin free" fugu by keeping them away from the bacteria.

The poison seems to accumulate in the organs (such as the liver and ovaries) and skin of the fugu. If improperly prepared, the toxin can spread to other parts of the fish.

Puffer Fish

Fugu (Blowfish or Pufferfish) contains lethal amounts of the poison tetrodotoxin in the organs, especially the liver area and ovaries, and also the skin. The poison, a sodium channel blocker, paralyzes the muscles while the victim stays fully conscious, and eventually dies from asphyxiation. Currently, there is no known antidote, and the standard medical approach is to try to support the respiratory and circulatory system until the poison wears off.

As of 2008, advances in fugu research and farming have allowed some farmers to mass produce non-toxic fugu. Researchers surmised that fugu's tetrodotoxin came from eating other animals that had the tetrodotoxin-laden bacteria, and developed immunity over time. Many farmers now are producing 'poison-free' fugu by keeping the fugu away from tetrodotoxin-laden bacteria. Usuki, a town in Ōita Prefecture, became famous for selling non-poisonous fugu. No one has been poisoned eating it yet. -From the Wikipedia entry for Fugu.

Scientists have found that toxic fugu have unique exocrine glands for the secretion of tetrodotoxin. The fish appear to actively produce the toxin, rather than passively acquire it from the environment.

The fugu fish is an extremely poisonous fish found in the waters off Japan. Fugu fish, also called puffer fish, eat other fish, small crustaceans, and plankton.

The fugu and related species may contain a tetrodotoxin, an extremely potent neurotoxin and one of the most toxic substances known, which produces critical illness and often death.

The name for the poisonous puffer fish is a fugu fish. The poison that is carried by the fish is tetradotoxin. The fugu fish is a delicacy in Japan and must be carefully prepared so that the poisons are removed.

From tetraodontidae-2Puffer poisoning usually results from consumption of incorrectly prepared puffer soup, fugu chiri or occasionally from raw puffer meat, fugu. While chiri is much more likely to cause death, sashimi fugu often causes intoxication, light-headedness, and numbness of the lips, and is often eaten for this reason.

yes...TTX is a neurotoxin that shuts down electrical signals in the nerves by disrupting the flow of sodium ions into nerve cells. Fugu poisoning victims generally die with six to 24 hours after eating fugu, depending on the amount of poison ingested. Paralysis spread through the body while the victim is conscious. Death usually occurs from respiratory failure after the victims has gone into

Japanese eat puffer fish, known as fugu, for its unique taste and texture.

Fugu, known in the West as Japanese Puffer or Blowfish, is one of several types of fish species from that family that are eaten as sushi - raw fish.
The puffer has a very deadly toxin which is contained in the liver and if not properly handled and prepared can lead to intense suffering and eventually death. There is no known antidote for the toxin.


The Japanese highly regulate the fishing, import, export of the fish species itself; and the licensing of sushi chefs, who have to endure rigorous school training and several exams before being allowed to serve it to the public.


Although dangerous, many hardcore traditionalists leave an extremely tiny portion of the poison on the flesh as the numbing sensation in the lips, tongue and mouth is considered part of the mystique of having "survived" eating Fugu.


The flesh itself is considered firm white, but otherwise bland and tasteless as many Fugu dishes are accompanied by shoyu (soy sauce), green onions and/or the zest of a citrus fruit for flavor.
