Conference on molluscan shellfish safety, Nantes, France
14 June 2009 - 14 June 2009
France
An international conference on molluscan shellfish safety will take place from 14 to 19 June in Nantes, France.
The programme will cover epidemiology, risk assessment, toxin monitoring, analytical methods in microbiology and biochemistry, health and consumer protection, management of farming/harvesting areas, post-harvest treatment, and the macro-economic analysis of the repercussions of shellfish-farming crises.
The conference will also address the identification of chemical contaminants and target species that represent significant risks for consumers. Finally, the conference will aim to improve the development of high performance detection tools to prevent and/or monitor contamination, and will thereby contribute to supporting existing marine environment monitoring networks.For further information, please visit:
