FS46-03.10 October 2011 Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning

Bivalve molluscs are one of the only foods normally delivered to the consumer alive. This, and the fact that bivalve molluscs can selectively retain contaminants that are harmful to human health, means controls are in place to mitigate against this. To ensure best practice guidelines are followed Seafish has produced a series of industry guidance notes for fishers and shellfish farmers. This fact sheet on Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) covers: what it is, the symptoms, algal toxins, the legislative framework, controls in place, how the samples are tested, what harvesters should be doing and sources of further information. Revised October 2011.

The Prawn Nephrops Norvegicus as a Candidate for Vivier Transport - A Feasibility Study

Substantially increased UK landings of crustacean shellfish were made in the 1980s. These related particularly to crab lobster and prawn species and involved both long-established and new fisheries. The increases also included what locally and nationally were novel species for exploitation. The scale of such changes, the pace at which they occurred and the greater variety of species involved can all be related directly to attempts to satisfy the strong market demand for such products in several European countries, particularly Spain, France and Italy. The requirement has been for the delivery of live product of a type and at a scale which has made this virtually a new export industry for the UK – even though live lobsters and crabs had been marketed on a limited scale for many years preceding the recent changes. In this present context, ‘live’ refers to animals that are delivered showing not only signs of life but also a demonstrably highly retained intrinsic quality and so are worthy of the premium price that such product should command. Frequently, such product is again consigned alive by the continental dealer or his requirement may be to hold the animals for a period before sale. Either way, only good product which has been properly selected and handled can consistently meet these criteria. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.
