International Conference on Molluscan Shellfish Safety: Molluscan Shellfish Safety

Welcome to the ICMSS 2011 Conference Website

Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of everyone involved in the organization of the 8th International Conference on Molluscan Shellfish Safety, it is my pleasure to invite you to come to Canada, to meet with your colleagues from June 12 to 17, 2011, in Charlottetown on the Prince Edward Island, the gentle island cradled on the waves of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Continuing what is now almost a tradition, the conference program will primarily feature the following topics: epidemiology; risk assessment; pathogen and toxin monitoring; analytical methods in microbiology and biochemistry; consumer health protection; management of production and harvesting areas; post-harvest processing; and other topics that may come to the fore in the next year. This conference is intended as a discussion forum of particular interest to producers, scientists and regulators.

We look forward to welcoming you for a week full of stimulating presentations and discussions on the many topics mentioned above.
