The fishing industry has commissioned several universities to study the wash-ups of dead shellfish.
Marine pollution expert Tim Deere-Jones hadin some of the crab samples from the wash-ups were 70 times higher than in crabs from other areas.
The study said no pyridine was found in water samples taken around the estuary in May 2020 but it was discovered in sediment samples at eight out of 12 sites both near and offshore. The report said not all algal blooms are damaging and the "circumstantial evidence to suggest that the October 2021 bloom was harmful is incomplete and contradictory", adding: "Harmful algal blooms usually kill a broad range of organisms but the Teesside events disproportionately affected crabs and lobsters."
"Our main priority is the fact our environment has been trashed," he said, adding: "This picture that we've built up and all this proof - surely going forward, it can be acted on by the government."that she would "look into" the issue and would be raising it with Environment Secretary Ranil Jayawardena.
