Shellfish Safety Biotoxin
Our monitoring programme tests shellfish for regulated marine toxins and analyses seawater for toxin-producing phytoplankton before shellfish are harvested.
Shellfish Safety Phytoplankton
Our scientists build knowledge of phytoplankton populations and dynamics around the Irish coastline, especially species associated with shellfish toxicity.
Shellfish Safety Microbiology
Microbiological testing, regulatory support, and research help manage risks associated with bacteria and viruses in bivalve shellfish.
