Ever heard of ciguatera? Christopher Loeffler's talk "Ciguatera poisoning: a fishy food chain" first entices with the beautiful image of a dreamlike beach, then it becomes clear what this view has to do with ciguatera fish poisoning. Christopher shows how even the smallest changes in coral reefs have an impact on the food chain - all the way to humans, who are ultimately part of it by eating fish.
