\nThe moratorium on the consumption of oysters along the Namibian coast has been lifted after no traces of the Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning were found in samples taken from aquaculture facilities in production areas of Walvis Bay.
\n\"\"The harvesting of oysters and mussels in Production Area 1 was halted about two weeks ago because of high levels of Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning found in samples taken by the Namibian Standards Institute
\nIn a statement issued by Ueritjiua Kauaria Acting Exutive Director of the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, the general public is informed that is safe to consume oysters again. Mussels from the area, however, have not been cleared for consumption by the NSI after a new round of tests still showed traces of DSP.
\n\u201cShellfish samples from Walvis Bay aquaculture Production Area 1 were collected and submitted for re-testing. The official sampling and testing is undertaken by the Namibian Standards Institution as guided by the National Shell Fish Sanitation Programme. All tests done on Oysters had negative results.\u201d
\nThe regular testing of shell fish is facilitated by the Namibian Standard Institution and is guided by the National Shellfish Sanitation Programme to ensure the safety of consumers and to protect international markets.<\/p>\n\t\t
