Angling group concerned only 12 samples were tested for total microcystin toxins after the blue-green algae outbreak
The Food Standards Agency says any fish caught in Lough Neagh is safe to eat after testing samples caught at the height of the blue-green algae bloom for a range of toxins.
Of those with the highest concentrations, two to three samples of fish flesh from eels, roach, pollan and perch were further tested for concentrations of total microcystins. That found "one order of magnitude higher than the concentrations of free microcystins that had been measured" in the fish guts and none in the flesh. No bream samples were included in the additional tests.
The FSA says any fish caught in Lough Neagh is safe to eat if properly gutted and the fillets rinsed with clean water to remove any contamination from the gutting process. But their "With this new information, we are now advising that recreational anglers can enjoy eating the fish they catch but they should take care when handling and gutting the fish to prevent contamination of the edible parts of the fish with toxins that may be present in internal organs.
The FSA assessed this risk and we determined that, while it would be undesirable to eat viscera contaminated with microcystins, it is not likely to be harmful to humans at the levels detected.
