    A few years back Washington stopped the processing of Crab unless each
    load was checked for Domoic Acid. There was a large bloom which closed
    the Razor Clam season. This resulted in a very high razor clam
    population high in domoic acid. The crabs eat the clams and ....... I
    would talk to someone in the Washington State Department of Health,
    Shellfish section. They would have more info then I. Anne (Bornstein's)
    might have info on it. Her company was processing crab at the same time.

    Hi all,
     
    I am interested to know the influence of marine algal toxins on seafood
    safety. I understand there was an international symposium on algal
    toxins, held during May 27-29, 2007 at the University of Trieste, Aula
    Magna, Edificio H3, Trieste, Italy. Did they publish the proceedings?
    Where I can find the information? Thanks.
    Dr. V. Venugopal
