All Pacific salmon belong to the genus Oncorhynchus, the same as the Rainbow trout. King, Coho, Pink and Chub are major species caught outside the North American west coast. Several species
A study found some cod-sensitive children to have IgE antibodies to trout. IgE antibodies to trout were also measured in a group of patients suffering from atopic dermatitis using Pharmacia CAP System™, and in food-allergic children
Cross-Reactivity
Species within groups of fish, like Gadiformes (examples: codfish and hake) and Scombroid fishes (examples: mackerel and tuna) seem to share allergenic components. The overlap of allergen specificity between the groups seems to be moderate or even small.
