Objective
a) To investigate new methods using solid phase adsorption for detection of algal toxins (amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP), paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins) in the water column, this may serve as early toxin contamination warning mechanisms for areas important to shellfish harvesting.
b) To develop new techniques to combine solid phase adsorption toxin detection methods and molecular probes in real-time remote samplers - leading to rapid methods of detection of specific species of toxic phytoplankton.
c) To develop cost effective equipment, that will combine the solid phase adsorption and probe technology into useable management and quality control tools for the industry.
d) To investigate the use of different protocols to wash ASP(and other algal) toxins from contaminated shellfish during processing.
e) To investigate the bacterial degradation of algal toxins and the use of microencapsulated bacteria to depurate these toxins from shellfish.
f) To set up new industry protocols designed to use latest Quality Control technology and set up a training regime, that can be used to bring the necessary skills to industrial users and to educate new researchers.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
