Gov. Bobby Jindal wants the federal government to step up testing of seafood samples from Louisiana
waters so they can be quickly reopened to commercial fishing.

The state opened the areas for sport fishing on Thursday. But on Monday, Jindal and Louisiana seafood industry leaders complained that the Food and Drug Administration is too slow to test the samples.

Jindal held a news conference at a Kenner seafood processing plant that is running out of inventory because of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
