MANILA – Nagbabala ang Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) sa mga residente at mangingisda ng pitong lugar na nag-positibo sa “paralytic shellfish poison” o red tide.

Batay sa Shellfish Bulletin No. 13 na inilabas ng BFAR nitong araw, nag-positibo sa red tide ang mga karagatan ng:

  • Puerto Princesa Bay, Puerto Princesa City in Palawan
  • Coastal waters of Dauis and Tagbilaran City in Bohol
  • Tambobo Bay, Siaton in Negros Oriental
  • Coastal waters of Calubian in Leyte
  • Balite Bay, Mati City in Davao Oriental
  • Lianga Bay and coastal waters of Hinatuan in Surigao del Sur
  • Bislig Bay in Surigao del Sur

“(These areas) are still positive for Paralytic Shellfish Poison (PSP) or toxic red tide that is beyond the regulatory limit.”

Ayon sa BFAR, hindi ligtas kainin ang kahit anong shellfish at alamang na makukuha mula sa naturang mga lugar.

Gayunpaman, nilinaw ng ahensya na ligtas kainin ang mga mahuhuling isda, pusit, hipon, at alimango sa nasabing mga karagatan basta’t tiyaking sariwa at lilinasan ng maayos bago kainin.

“Provided that they are fresh and washed thoroughly, and internal organs such as gills and intestines are removed before cooking.”
