"A Waiheke Island environmental group says several samples of marine life taken from the Hauraki Gulf have tested positive for the rat poisons brodifacoum and 1080.
Sarah Silverstar of Ocean Aware says the samples of marine birds, oysters and dog vomit, taken from Waiheke and Rangitoto Islands, were tested in an Auckland clinic by EAV machine and all were found to contain brodifacoum and, to a lesser degree, 1080.
A woman who had become mildly ill after eating local snapper the week before also tested positive for brodifacoum, said Silverstar."
