Fisheries officials issue shellfish warning for area outside Halifax
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

HALIFAX (CP): The federal Fisheries Department has issued a shellfish warning for an area outside of Halifax bounded by Duncan's Cove, Pennant Point, and Sambro Island. Routine testing has revealed the presence of the paralytic shellfish toxin or red tide. Many people like to pick mussels from tidal pools in the area. The ban is indefinite.
