My question relates to biotoxin outbreaks affecting aquaculture operations around the coast. A number of areas are prone to biotoxin outbreaks which means shellfish cannot be harvested and must be kept in the water for a lengthy period until the biotoxin dissipates and test results show they are clear. This places a serious financial burden on the operations. My questions seeks to know if there will be any support from the State for them.
