The US Coast Guard has recalled all 125 commercial fishing boats helping with oil recovery efforts in the Gulf of Mexico after reports of health problems.

The move raises questions over the safety of the clean-up operation in and around the Gulf of Mexico.

Crew members of three separate fishing vessels reported suffering from "nausea, dizziness, headaches and chest pains" on Wednesday afternoon.

"No other personnel are reporting symptoms, but we are taking this (recall) action as an extreme safeguard," said Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Robinson Cox.

Safety officers for the energy giant British Petroleum (BP), along with US Coast Guard officials and the Environmental Protection Agency, are investigating the incident.

The latest oil spill clean-up operation called 'Top Kill' is currently being carried out by BP in the Gulf of Mexico.
