PEOPLE in Argyll and Bute have been warned to be careful when harvesting wild shellfish due to a high level of natural toxins.
Argyll and Bute Council issued a warning last week stating that Loch Melfort and Seil Sound contained measurements of algal toxins above the legally permitted level.
However, a shellfish farmer from Dunbeg wanted to clarify that produce bought from farms is safe due to routine testing.
