• A good result from the Sea Squirt DNA test results

    by  • May 19, 2010 • Announcements

    Long-awaited test results have identified that the sea squirt found in Twofold Bay in March is NOT the invasive sea squirt Didemnum vexillum.  This is a great relief to community members, fisherfolk and more importantly the mussel farmers in Twofold Bay who held grave fears for their mussel stock and future viability if the samples had been found to be the invasive species.

    The NSW Department of Industry & Investment has praised the local community and specifically the Sapphire Coast Marine Discovery Centre for their quick work in ensuring the public were aware of the potential danger and were geared to deal with it if it were DV.
