Fisheries Department today seized 100 kg of fish preserved in toxic chemical Formalin at the fish market in the Kumbakonam four-road junction near here, officials said.

Fishmongers said the catch did not belong to them, they said.

The Formalin-mixed fish would cause cancer, allergy and several other diseases, they added.
