The Department of Fisheries is cooperating with other enforcement agencies to ensure that there is no harvest and sale of shellfish from Port Dickson. PORT DICKSON: The results of Kuala Lumpur Fisheries Biosecurity Centre's laboratory analysis found that there are harmful algae that cause mussels in Port Dickson waters to be contaminated and unsafe to eat.
"We advise the public not to eat these mussels within 20 days, after this festive season we will take more samples to be tested, before confirming that the mussels here are safe to eat," he said at a press conference on Thursday which was also attended by the state Fisheries Department director Kasim Tawe.
"There are 40 registered mussel operators here in Pasir Panjang including unregistered ones. The existing mussels in the waters do not have to be disposed of, they will neutralise themselves, except that the mussels that have been harvested and sold in the market must be destroyed," he said. Earlier, Negri Sembilan DOF was reported to have taken samples of mussels and water in the waters off Port Dickson following an alleged case of food poisoning due to the seafood.
