Synopsis (short abstract) The Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia and the Pacific (NACA) in cooperation with the FAO/UNDP Regional Seafarming Development and Demonstration Project (RAS/86/024) proposed to conduct a workshop on mollusc sanitation and marketing. As part of its development activities, the Workshop was approved by the National Coordinators of the Seafarming Project at its Second Meeting held in Singapore in September 1988. 2. At present, the Seafarming Project has 8 member governments: China, India, Ind onesia, Korea DPR, Korea Rep., The Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. The Seafarming Project is under the coordination of the NACA Project (RAS/86/047) which has several member countries other than those of the Seafarming Project that are also interested in developing their seafarming industry, like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Vietnam. 3. The Seafarming Project aims to substantially increase the present level of seafarming production and thus increase the regional fish supply as well as upgrade the socio-economic status of rural communities.

    International trade has been the main driving factor for the rapid growth of the bivalve mollusc production industry during the last six decades, growing from nearly one million tonnes in 1950 to 16.1 million tonnes in 2015. In recognition of the extensive trade of this commodity, the Codex Alimentarius Commission has developed a Standard for Live and Raw Bivalve Molluscs as well as guidance in the Codex Code of Practice for Fish and Fishery Products on the steps needed to be taken at all stages of the food chain in order to produce a product that meets the Codex Standard. However, to facilitate implementation of the Codex guidance, countries identified the need for more information on how to implement Codex guidance in their specific context and specifically how to establish and monitor a bivalve mollusc growing area. This FAO/WHO Technical Guidance for the Development of the Growing Area Aspects of Bivalve Mollusc Sanitation Programmes aims to address that need. The focus of the guidance is the primary production of molluscs for consumption as live or raw bivalves and in particular how to manage microbiological hazards at this stage. Acknowledging that managing chemical hazards, toxin phytoplankton, and biotoxins also presents big challenges, reference has also been provided to relevant Codex standards and other international guidance. The guidance was developed from a technical and scientific perspective and using a risk-based approach. It has been driven by the intent and experience of existing programmes, rather than the details of these programmes, and in line with the requirements of the Codex Code of Practice. The guidance is primarily aimed at the authorities responsible for the development, implementation, and application of a bivalve mollusc sanitation programme, while highlighting the collaboration and agreements required between different partners including local authorities, regulatory agencies, and laboratories to implement such a programme.

    This document is the outcome of an update of the first edition of the Joint FAO and WHO Technical guidance for the development of the growing area aspects of Bivalve Mollusc Sanitation Programmes published in 2018. FAO has worked jointly with the FAO Reference Centre for Bivalve Sanitation, the UK Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) and Ron Lee, Cefas former employee, for the update of this document to ensure that it is still a useful tool for the development of bivalve sanitation programmes.
