Algal Bloom

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:52): Supplementary: to protect the reputation of the oyster industry, as you mentioned, is there any restriction on oyster movement or relay due to risk associated with Karenia algae movement? Not brevetoxin, but algae.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:53): My advice is that any restrictions will be in relation to brevetoxin levels. As I mentioned, SASQAP is monitoring those levels, and they are the levels that could result in a closure.
