Lough Neagh Sampling Plan - 2025-2026 (Green Water)
Authority: The Food Standards Agency (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLough Neagh Sampling Plan - 2025-2026
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is commissioning a 2025/26 sampling programme to assess the presence and levels of cyanotoxins in fish harvested from Lough Neagh. This follows findings from the 2024/25 programme, which identified microcystins in edible fish flesh and anatoxins in viscera, both of which pose significant health risks. The continued sampling is essential to build on existing scientific evidence, monitor toxin trends, and ensure food and feed safety advice remains current. The programme will focus on seven commercially harvested fish species, including pike, due to its potential for higher toxin bioaccumulation. Samples will be tested by GreenWater Laboratories
