Abstract
Voluntary cooperation between the shellfish industry and government agencies has reduced the incidence of shellfishborne disease. Contamination of bivalve mollusks by bacterial pathogens, viruses, and toxin-containing phytoplankton is controlled by harvesting shellfish only from approved waters and by the use of sanitary food-handling practices.Keywords
