PORT DICKSON: Fish, prawns and squid in the waters of Port Dickson remain safe for consumption, says Negri Sembilan Fisheries Department.

Its director, Kasim Tawe, said marine life such as fish and prawns are safe to eat as these species look for their own food unlike the majority of cockles and mussels that are bred.
