SEREMBAN: Laboratory tests on the second sample conducted by the Kuala Lumpur Fisheries Biosecurity Centre (PBPKL) on Tuesday on mussels and shellfish in Port Dickson waters found that the biotoxin reading was still above 800 parts per billion (ppb).

Negeri Sembilan Fisheries Department director Kasim Tawe said therefore the seafood is still unsafe as it could cause health problems and the ban on eating it is still in force.
