'Plenty of fish' but algae bloom 'uncertainty' persists at SA tourist town

A harmful algal bloom off Port Hughes in South Australia has caused fish diversity to "decrease significantly," marine biologist Stefan Andrews said, despite government testing showing reduced karenia levels. Algae peaked at 16,850 cells per litre on April 6 but dropped to 1,936 by April 29. Andrews warned ecosystem damage remains long-term and uncertainty persists about future outbreaks.
