[Cracking the rumors, there are parasites in the saury!?]

在秋天盛產的秋刀魚其特有的甘苦滋味總讓許多老饕們難忘，更是中秋烤肉最受歡迎的食材之一；但近日網路盛傳秋刀魚的魚身上有洞是腹內隱藏寄生蟲的跡象，引起不少民眾的疑慮與恐慌；我們將破解不實謠傳提供給民眾正確觀念，水產試驗所表示:
The sweet and bitter taste of saury, which is abundant in autumn, is always unforgettable for many food lovers, and it is one of the most popular ingredients for Mid-Autumn BBQ; however, it has been rumored on the Internet recently that holes in saury fish are signs of hidden parasites in the abdomen. It has caused doubts and panic among many people; we will decipher false rumors and provide people with correct ideas. The Fisheries Research Institute stated:

「無論是淡水魚或海水魚都有可能成為寄生蟲的中間宿主，而秋刀魚外觀的洞痕通常是屬於太平洋魚蝨所咬合痕跡，只要煮熟即可安心食用。」
"Whether it is freshwater fish or seawater fish, it is possible to become an intermediate host for parasites. The holes on the surface of saury are usually the bite marks of Pacific fish lice. It can be eaten safely as long as it is cooked."

農委會水產試驗研究所依據國內研究報告說明，秋刀魚的體外常被一種小型甲殼類動物寄生，也是海洋魚類常見現象，尤其水溫較高時此現象會更頻繁；一般秋刀魚在進入船艙冷凍時寄生物就會自行脫落，最後在魚體表皮會形成紅色、黑色的洞痕。
According to domestic research reports, the Fisheries Experimental Research Institute of the Council of Agriculture shows that saury is often parasitized by a small crustacean outside the body, which is also a common phenomenon in marine fish, especially when the water temperature is high. The parasites will fall off by themselves, and finally red and black holes will be formed on the epidermis of the fish.

因此一般民眾在烹調時，只要將秋刀魚完全煮熟便對人體無害且無食用上疑慮，也能在前置處理時先去除魚頭、魚鰓以及消化道再完全煮熟；如此一來大家就能在秋季盡情安心享用秋刀魚肥美滋味！
Therefore, when ordinary people cook, as long as the saury is fully cooked, it will be harmless to the human body and have no doubts about eating. It is also possible to remove the head, gills and digestive tract of the fish before cooking it completely; You can enjoy the fat and delicious saury in autumn!
