Interrelación de laboratorios de control y laboratorios de investigación en España para la armonización de metodologías de determinación de toxinas paralizantes
XII Congreso Nacional de Agricultura, Madrid 24-26 de noviembre de 2009Marketing of cultured and harvested shellfish is linked to monitoring programs for granting food safety. Its complexity requires constant cooperation between research and monitoring laboratories in order to improve sampling and analysing performances, achieve legal requirements, etc. for increasing consumer’s health protection but not reducing producer’s benefits. The JACUMAR project «Comparison of methodologies for the evaluation of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) toxins in bivalves. Application for aquaculture in Spain» groups research and monitoring laboratories from Galicia, Andalucía and Cataluña. Efforts are focused on detection and quantification of PSP toxins, searching an analytical method able to fulfil technical and management requirementsEste proyecto está financiado por la Junta Asesora de Cultivos Marinos (JACUMAR), y los programas de control por los gobiernos autónomos de Galicia, Andalucía y CataluñaN
