Abstract(s)
Nowadays, the allergies in humans, that consuming marine products, are increasing and cephalopods are
not an exception. Octopus is a food which may result in allergy symptoms because of essentially to
tropomyosin in composition. Another problem is cross-allergy provoked by manipulation during fishing
of different species from different groups (crustacean, fishes, molluscs) and manipulation of animals
captured and recipients used aboard. For this study two Portuguese zones were chosen that were famous
for octopus fishing by using pots and traps. The methodology used consisted in a presential
survey/interview and observation method. The results demonstrated that the majority haven't heard
about seafood or cephalopods allergy. Some procedures aboard aren’t avoided cross reaction allergy and
can even promote the occurrence of it. Is necessary and urgent to give in-formation to the fishermen
about allergen problems and correct some behaviors aboard.
