SANITARY AND EPIZOOTIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF MOLLUSCS IN CROATIA

Sažetak
Croatia has a long tradition of shellfish cultivation with great potential for expanding the production. The main cultivated species are Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) with annual production of about 3000 tons. The efforts are put to create the regulation for mollusc production control as well as harmonize them with those set by EC and OIE. The sanitary and epizootiological control of production areas are main parameters of the successful production and putting the shellfish to the national and international market. In the 1999. the first Regulation laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of live bivalve molluscs was issued by Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Since 2000. there is a National monitoring programme set by the same Ministry with aim to prevent the risks for consumers’ health and for the health of cultivated animals. The criteria on which the monitoring programme was based consist of the location of the production areas, geographical and hydrological peculiarities and veterinary zoning in the particular districts. Croatian Veterinary Institute takes part in the control of microbiological quality and the residues of the metals, PCBs and pesticides as well as the control of epizootiological status of the shellfish. The results of the mentioned analysis from past three years are presented in the paper. It is important to point out that microbiological quality of the mussels and flat oyster from Croatian cultivation areas were satisfactory. Cytological and histological examination of the mussels and oysters according to OIE Code and Manual revealed that flat oysters are free of listed diseases while mussels are infected by Marteilia maurini, the parasite of unexplained correlation to listed M.refrigens.
