In an online public announcement on Thursday, October 6, 2022, the BFAR Region Office V said “all forms of shellfish and Acetes or “alamang” from the following locations are dangerous for human consumption and should not be collected, sold, purchased, or eaten.
BFAR said people can eat fish, squid, shrimp, and crabs as long as they are fresh, well-washed, and internal organs such as gills and intestines are removed before cooking.
BFAR and Local Government Units are monitoring the said areas to protect public health and the shellfish industry.
