Unapproved substance in fish imports?

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Alabama Agriculture and Industries Commissioner Ron Sparks says some fish being imported into Alabama have tested positive for a substance not approved for fish.

Sparks plans a news conference for 3 p.m. today at his agency's headquarters in Montgomery. He says the imported fish have tested positive for fluoroquinolones, a substance not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for aquaculture.

Sparks said when his department's labs find the substance in imported fish, he will stop them from being sold in Alabama.
