MAFF, Agency pass the buck on oestrogen-contaminated fish
The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) has warned anglers not to eat fish caught in "polluted waters" after publishing a report which revealed that fish in several estuaries show signs of endocrine disruption. 1 But rather than identify the problem areas, it has simply passed inquiries to the Environment Agency - which has directed them back to MAFF.
