SHELL DISEASES AND TOXINS REGULATED BY LAW

U Hrvatskoj postoji duga tradicija uzgoja školjaka, uz perspektivu daljnjeg razvoja školjkarstva. Budući da su školjke osjetljivi organizmi koji zahtijevaju posebne uvjete uzgoja i klime, podložne su i mnogim bolestima. Bonamiozu, haplosporidiozu, marteiliozu, mikrocitozu i perkinsozu navodi Međunarodni ured za epizootije kao bolesti školjaka koje se prijavljuju po zakonu, a iridovirozu kao bolest od potencijalnog međunarodnog značenja. Iste su bolesti Zakonom o veterinarstvu iz godine 1997. regulirane kao zarazne bolesti školjaka čije je sprečavanje i suzbijanje od interesa za Republiku Hrvatsku. Iako se ne suzbija po zakonu, u tekstu je ovoga članka, zbog svoje važnosti, opisana i Mytilicola bolest. Prema Pravilniku Ministarstva zdravstva iz godine 1994., jestivi dio školjaka pretražuje se na toksine nekih morskih dinoflagelata, koji mogu biti štetni za ljudsko zdravlje, a to su PSP (Paralytic Shellfish Poison), DSP (Diarrhoeic Shellfish Poison) i NSP (Neuroparalytic Shellfish Poison).There is a long tradition of cultivating shells in Croatia, and the shell industry has a good perspective of further development. Since shells are delicate organisms that require special breeding conditions and climate, they are also subject to many diseases. Bonamiosis, haplospioridiosis, marteiliosis, microcytosis and perkinsosis are stated by the International Bureau for Epizootics as shell diseases that, in keeping with law, must be reported, and iridovirosis as a disease of a potential international importance. The same diseases are regulated by the Veterinary Law from 1997 as infectious diseases prevention of which is of an interest for the Republic of Croatia. Although, according to the law, it does not have to be prevented, in this article the disease Mytilicola is also described. According to the Health Department Statute from 1994, eatable part of shells are being tested for toxins of some marine dinoflagelates that can damage human health, and these are PSP (Paralytic Shellfish Poison), DSP (Diarrhoeic Shellfish Poison) and NSP (Neuroparalytic Shellfish Poison)
