The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has warned the public not to gather and eat shellfish from the Bataan coastal waters and Masinloc Bay in Zambales for the mean time as red tide toxin, which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning remains present in these areas. | |||
Affected by the ban in Bataan are the municipalities of Mariveles, Limay, Orion, Pilar, Abucay, Samal and Orani, and the city of Balanga. | |||
“Based on the latest shellfish bulletin issued last April 17, the current red tide toxin level in shellfish samples collected from the coastal waters of Bataan and Masinloc Bay are still significantly higher to the 60g STXg/100g tolerable limit,” BFAR Central Luzon Information Officer Lanie Lamyong said. | |||
Lamyong reiterated that fishes, squids, shrimps, and crabs harvested from these areas are safe to eat as long as they are fresh and washed thoroughly, and their internal organs such as gills and intestines are removed before cooking. | |||
