A shellfish ban imposed in Bataan for almost 10 months was lifted yesterday by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. BFAR issued the latest shellfish bulletin after successive laboratory tests on sunset shells or sulib harvested from Samal town showed the absence of algae that cause the red toxin, said provincial agriculturist Imelda Nieto. With the ban now lifted, harvesting, transporting, selling and eating of shellfish harvested from the towns of Hermosa, Orani, Samal, Abucay, Pilar, Orion, Limay, Mariveles and in Balanga City are no longer prohibited.
