WILD SHELLFISH ALERT | Do not eat wild shellfish from Cloudy Bay Lagoon located on the south of Bruny Island, or Adventure Bay located on the east coast of Bruny Island.
πThis is in response to elevated levels of biotoxins in shellfish.
Wild (or recreationally) harvested shellfish should not be eaten from this area because the biotoxins are harmful to humans.
Wild shellfish include oysters, mussels, clams, pipis, cockles and wedge shells, abalone and scallop roe. The intestines and livers (tomalley) of rock lobster can also be affected when toxic algal blooms are present.
Seafood sold in shops and restaurants is safe to eat and is not affected by this alert.
