Bulletin FT3_The use of artificial seawater in mollusc purification

Summary

Seafish trials with mollusc purification have made extensive use of Artificial Seawater (ASW) in both laboratory and commercial tanks. This bulletin is aimed specifically at the use of ASW for bivalve molluscs and combines technical data from MAFF Laboratory Leaflet No. 39, published in 1977 and entitled 'Artificial Seawater for Shellfish Tanks' and experience gained by Seafish. For more detailed information the MAFF Leaflet or Seafish should be consulted.
