BP Oil Spill: Undersea Plumes Nowhere to Be Found as Tests Show Seafood to Be Safe
Scientists Say Bacteria Have Consumed Undersea Oil Far Faster Than Expected

Undersea Plumes Nowhere to Be Found, As Tests Show Seafood to Be Safe: Scientists monitoring spill say bacteria have consumed undersea oil far faster than expected.

An independent lab has been testing seafood from the Louisiana Coast since the BP oil disaster began. In tests of over 15,000 animals, not a single one has been found to have elevated levels of oil contamination.

Scientists also are unable to find oil in Gulf seafood. In Louisiana state tests of more than 15,000 animals, not a single sample has been found to have elevated levels of oil contamination.

"We're not finding very much at all," said John Reuther, an analytical chemist for a lab that has been testing Louisiana seafood since the disaster began.

Acting on the positive evidence, Louisiana expects to reopen almost all of state fisheries in the next two weeks, according to Randy Pausina, assistant secretary of fisheries for the state's Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
