Businesses under strain following Northland floods

NEW ZEALAND - A Russell oyster farmer says extreme flooding in Northland could force the local oyster industry to close down for up to 56 days.

Aquaculturist Clive Harwood says it is a statutory requirement to shut down if there is a major sewerage spill.

He is expecting a long closure during the current peak selling season, and for export sales to be affected.

Mr Harwood says it means zero income and it couldn't come at at worse time..
