Cadmium in BC farmed oysters : a review of available data, potential sources, research needs and possible mitigation strategies / George M. Kruzynski.Fs70-1/2000-104E-PDF

In response to a request by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in May, 2000, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Pacific Region undertook to investigate the potential reasons for apparently elevated Cadmium levels in BC cultured Pacific oysters. Earlier in the year, CFIA reported that several shipments of BC farmed oysters had been rejected by the Hong Kong market for being in excess of their 2 ug CD/g (ppm) wet weight limits. A preliminary literature search was conducted, contacts were made with shellfish growers and processors, both Government and academic researchers were consulted and the resulting information was synthesized in the form of this report.
