Shellfish pass latest toxin tests
A Cornish estuary has been given the all clear for the gathering of shellfish after water tests found no trace of algal toxins.
Commercial harvesting of shellfish in the Camel Estuary was stopped earlier in the summer because of problems with the toxin DSP - which causes diarrhoea.
Shellfish harvesting was halted at the start of August after sampling by North Cornwall District Council.
No toxins were detected in the latest water samples.
