Fishing stops after algae deaths

Four shellfishing areas are being closed after the deaths of thousands of fish along the coast of Cornwall. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the temporary closure was a sensible precaution after an algal bloom caused fish deaths in St Austell Bay. More dead fish were washed ashore near Torpoint on Friday. The cause of their deaths is still to be determined.
Shellfishing is being stopped in the St Austell bay, Fal, Fowey, and Helford waterway areas, the FSA said.
