Scallop Purification - Initial Trials at Ardtoe, September 1992

Summary

Under new hygiene legislation there may be a requirement to purify farmed scallops grown in certain areas. In the absence of any previous experience within the UK a short trial was carried out to establish the possibility of purifying scallops and what further work would be required to develop operating criteria. Trials indicated that fundamental differences between scallops and other bivalve molluscs currently purified in the UK would make purification difficult to achieve.
