Preliminary toxicology testing of fish collected as part of the Gladstone Harbour investigation has found no evidence that organic chemicals or metals are causing fish health problems in the Harbour.
Fisheries Queensland today released the toxicology report on three barramundi samples taken from Port Alma and China Bay and provided for testing in September.
Fisheries Queensland Habitat and Assessment General Manager John Robertson said these results would help in further understanding the conditions affecting fish in Gladstone.
“There is no indication from these preliminary results that organic chemicals or metals are affecting the health of fish in Gladstone Harbour, but further testing will be required due to the small sample size," Dr Robertson said.
