known expert in bivalve purification.
A participant
prepares to start recording key environmental parameters
such as salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen levels.
These and other parameters are monitored throughout the
course.
The course
is an intensive mix of theory and practical sessions

Working
as individuals and teams throughout the 3 day course.

have extensive experience in the seafood industry and are
well able to share their knowledge with the group.
Observing
oysters and mussels in a range of salinities and temperatures
demonstrates how the two species react to very different
environmental conditions.
