Shellfish collected from two bays in Mindanao remain positive for red tide, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said ahead of Holy Week, when many Filipinos eat less meet and more seafood. In its Shellfish Bulletin 06 dated March 20, the BFAR said latest laboratory tests conducted on shellfish caught in Dumanquillas Bayin Zamboanga del Sur province and Murcielagos Bay in the province of Zamboanga del Norte and Misamis Occidental showed that the red tide in them is still beyond the regulatory limit.
