GEORGE TOWN, Aug 30 — The Penang Fisheries Department will continue to take samples periodically to monitor the density of the algae species, ‘Noctiluca Scintillans’ in the waters of Teluk Bahang, which has been experiencing the ‘red water’ phenomenon from Saturday.
“Preliminary results of the analysis carried out by the Batu Maung Fisheries Research Institute to identify the ‘red water’ present in the waters of Teluk Bahang found that the algae is non-toxic. It is from the Noctiluca Scintillans species and is not dangerous to humans. Based on 2016 records, the department said the same situation happened in Kuala Gula, Perak in 2016 and caused fish in cages to die.
It said fish cage breeders are also advised to reduce the density of fish in cages and by monitoring the dissolved oxygen content.
