DEPURACIÓN BACTERIANA Y FÍSICA DE LA ALMEJA Polymesoda solida A PEQUEÑA ESCALA Bacterial and Physical Depuration of the Clam Polymesoda solida at Pilot Scale

The consumption of shellfish has been associated with microbial infections even in cases where shellfish complied with the current regulation, which is based on bacterial analysis. Depuration pro- cesses try to eliminate microorganisms using seawater to allow living, filter-feeding shellfish to naturally purge themselves from agents they accumulated from the environment. In this study, depuration rates of potential indicators were
