Volume II

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Fisheries and Oceans Canada

As with finfish, shellfish health profiles are based mainly on knowledge derived from cultured stocks. This reflects an ease of access to cultured stock, which can introduce a sampling bias that complicates accurate pinpointing of disease sources.
