Occupational hazards exist in the processing of seafood both in land-based facilities as well as on board vessels. Recent findings on occupational injury and respiratory health risks among seafood processing workers were presented and discussed at the IFISH5 conference. Particular emphasis was put on the challenges that im/migrant workers encounter, the greater risks onboard factory vessels, especially where processing machinery are retrofitted to older vessels not primarily designed for this purpose, and the difficulties in assessing and preventing bioaerosol exposures and associated respiratory health risks despite recent advances in characterising agents responsible for allergic and non-allergic reactions. Based on appraisal of existing knowledge in the published literature and new findings presented at the conference, recommendations for immediate actions as well as for future research have been proposed. Among these include the importance of improving extraction ventilation systems, optimising machinery performance, enclosure of bioaerosol sources, improved work organization, and making special efforts to identify and support the needs of im/migrant workers to ensure they also benefit from such improvements. There is a need for studies that incorporate longitudinal study designs, have improved exposure and diagnostic methods, and that address seafood processing in countries with high seafood processing activities such as Asia and those that involve im/migrant workers worldwide. The medical and scientific community has an important role to play in prevention but cannot do this in isolation and should cooperate closely with hygienists, engineers, and national and international agencies to obtain better health outcomes for workers in the seafood industry.

在陆上设施和船上的海产品加工过程中都存在职业危害。近期关于海鲜加工工人职业伤害和呼吸系统健康风险的研究结果在 IFISH5 会议上进行了介绍和讨论。特别强调了移民工人面临的挑战、工厂船舶上更大的风险，特别是在将加工机械改装到并非主要为此目的而设计的旧船舶上的情况下，以及评估和预防生物气溶胶暴露和相关呼吸系统健康方面的困难尽管最近在表征引起过敏和非过敏反应的药物方面取得了进展。基于对已发表文献中现有知识的评估和会议上提出的新发现，已经提出了立即行动以及未来研究的建议。其中包括改进抽气通风系统、优化机械性能、封闭生物气溶胶源、改进工作组织以及特别努力识别和支持移民工人的需求以确保他们也从这些改进中受益的重要性。需要纳入纵向研究设计，改进暴露和诊断方法，并解决亚洲等海产品加工活动高的国家和涉及全球移民/移民工人的海产品加工的研究。医学和科学界在预防方面发挥着重要作用，但不能孤立地做到这一点，应该与卫生员、工程师、
