Dr. Astorga presented the paper entitled “Genetic considerations for mollusk production in aquaculture: Current state of knowledge” in the context of the symposium "Shellfish Genetics " where he was a review of studies in genetics at the five main species of molluscs produced in aquaculture systems worldwide and also presented the results obtained by the group of the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics UACh genetic Chilean mussel ( chilensis) Mytilus.
This conference, held every two years in different parts of the world into a producer of bivalves, is the only platform to discuss and develop networks among scientists, regulators and producers from around the world focused on food safety.
It was attended by important and renowned scientists as well as representatives of regulatory agencies of the main markets for Chilean fishery and aquaculture products that are exported.
By 2015 it corresponded to the Institute of Public Health (ISP) and the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Chile (Sernapesca) organize the event, in which the latest scientific and technological developments were discussed to characterize and mitigate the presence of
This conference is characterized by its focus based on the assessment and management of risk of each hazard and advancement of technological development for detection and quantification studies. Special attention has been made in recent conferences cyanotoxins and heavy metals in this occasion.
