Developing an assurance scheme for shellfish and human health (DASSHH)

This project seeks to develop an innovative risk based approach to enable the production of high quality shellfish that fully meets consumer safety and regulatory requirements while recognising the variable water quality environment in which most UK aquaculture production occurs. The specific project aims include: - Improving our understanding of the sources of microbial contamination and how uptake by shellfish varies with a range of potentially predictive environmental factors, so that producers can more accurately predict, manage and intervene to reduce the risk of contaminated product being harvested. - Assessing the risk implications associated with microbial contamination and …
