Shellfish from Bohol unsafe
Excerpt
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) office here has warned that all kinds of shellfish gathered from Bohol are not safe for consumption. BFAR raised the warning after it issued a red tide alert in Bohol, especially in the waters of Tagbilaran City and Dauis town, early this week. Other coastal areas found positive for the red tide toxin are western Samar, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Biliran province, Iloilo, Puerto Princesa City in Palawan, and Masbate.
