Contaminants in Shellfish Flesh an Investigation Into Microbiological and Trace Metal Contaminants in Shellfish from Selected Locations in the Wellington Region
Contaminants in shellfish flesh An investigation into microbiological and trace metal contaminants in shellfish from selected locations in the Wellington region Prepared by: J R Milne Environmental Monitoring and Investigations Greater Wellington Regional Council Executive summary The Wellington region’s varied and extensive coastline is utilised for both traditional and recreational harvesting of a number of shellfish species. Greater Wellington Regional Council periodically monitors the safety of these shellfish for human consumption. This report presents the results of the 2006 investigation, focusing on microbiological and trace metal contaminants in tuatua, cockles and blue mussels from selected sites in the western Wellington region. Faecal coliform indicator bacteria were detected in eight out of a total of 58 shellfish samples. Four of the eight results above detection were recorded in cockle samples collected from Porirua Harbour. No samples had bacteria present at a concentration that exceeded the recommended microbiological guidelines for edible tissue. Cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel and zinc were all present in the three species of shellfish examined. However, none of the metal concentrations exceeded the national food standards for edible tissue, where standards exist. The tuatua and cockle sample results showed little spatial variation in mean metal concentrations, with similar concentrations recorded between most sampling sites. However, there was some spatial variation in metal concentrations in the mussel samples from Wellington Harbour. Samples collected adjacent to Frank Kitts Park and the Thorndon Container Wharf in the inner harbour generally recorded the highest concentrations, while samples collected from Mahanga Bay, Shark Bay and Sunshine Bay consistently recorded the lowest concentrations. -
PETITION to LIST the Western Ridged Mussel
PETITION TO LIST The Western Ridged Mussel Gonidea angulata (Lea, 1838) AS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES UNDER THE U.S. ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT Photo credit: Xerces Society/Emilie Blevins Submitted by The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation Prepared by Emilie Blevins, Sarina Jepsen, and Sharon Selvaggio August 18, 2020 The Honorable David Bernhardt Secretary, U.S. Department of Interior 1849 C Street, NW Washington, DC 20240 Dear Mr. Bernhardt: The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation hereby formally petitions to list the western ridged mussel (Gonidea angulata) as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. § 1531 et seq. This petition is filed under 5 U.S.C. 553(e) and 50 CFR 424.14(a), which grants interested parties the right to petition for issue of a rule from the Secretary of the Interior. Freshwater mussels perform critical functions in U.S. freshwater ecosystems that contribute to clean water, healthy fisheries, aquatic food webs and biodiversity, and functioning ecosystems. The richness of aquatic life promoted and supported by freshwater mussel beds is analogous to coral reefs, with mussels serving as both structure and habitat for other species, providing and concentrating food, cleaning and clearing water, and enhancing riverbed habitat. The western ridged mussel, a native freshwater mussel species in western North America, once ranged from San Diego County in California to southern British Columbia and east to Idaho. In recent years the species has been lost from 43% of its historic range, and the southern terminus of the species’ distribution has contracted northward approximately 475 miles. Live western ridged mussels were not detected at 46% of the 87 sites where it historically occurred and that have been recently revisited. -

Wedding-Pack-2015-Onwards
Thank you for your interest in The Churchill Hotel for your forthcoming wedding celebration. I am delighted to enclose our Wedding Menus which I trust will be of interest to you. The Churchill is a privately owned and run hotel & owes much of its appeal to the unique atmosphere of a Georgian mansion, located within walking distance of York city centre. The Churchill stands in its own beautifully cultivated gardens and boasts ample secure parking for all its guests. Lovingly restored in the spring of 1986 the new owners, Messrs Dewsnap & Wood, purchased the property and undertook extensive alterations and repairs to the building, restoring it to its former glory. Initially The Churchill opened as a fourteen bedroom hotel then in 2006 a new chapter in the house's history began with the complete refurbishment of the original building and a sympathetic extension being added resulting in a 32 bedroom luxury hotel, fine dining restaurant and elegant function rooms. The hotel has gained a wonderful reputation both locally and with guests further afield for its fine food and warm hospitality. All wedding receptions and private dinners are unique, so listening and understanding all your needs is very important to us, therefore the choices offered are only suggestions. Daytime receptions can be held in the Westminster Room for up to 100 guests. The hotel can also offer alternative function rooms to cater for more intimate celebrations of 20-40 guests. Evening entertainment, finger buffets and a private bar can be arranged and we can cater for up to 120 guests at night-time. -

DOI: https://doi.org/10.30880/mari.2021.02.01.030 Received 11 November 2020; Accepted 01 January 2021; Available online 03 February 2021 Abstract: Cockles are one of the popular protein choices that are often used in the preparation of dishes in Malaysia. However, since the cockles naturally live buried in mud and sediment, the cleaning process of the dirt from its shell can be quite tricky. In this study, the small size of the cockle cleaning machine with a capacity of 2 kg was designed for home and small business use purposes. This manual machine consists of main components, including water container, perforated drum, cleaning brush, shaft, and hand lever. The dirty cockles should be inserted into the drum through the open end section before it covered by the end cap. When the hand lever attached to the drum is rotated clockwise, the cleaning brush on the shaft will be rotated together and will rub and remove dirt on the cockles' shell surface. The water that is put in the cleaning container up to a specific water level will then help the cleaning process of removing this dirt. -
Missouri's Freshwater Mussels

MISSOURI’S fluminea) and the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha), have Zebra mussels attach to any solid surface, including industrial found their way to Missouri. The Asian clam was introduced pipes, native mussels and snails and other zebra mussels. They into the western U.S. from Asia in the 1930s and quickly spread form dense clumps that suffocate and kill native mussels by eastward. Since 1968 it has spread rapidly throughout Missouri restricting feeding, breathing and other life functions. Freshwater and is most abundant in streams south of the Missouri River. In You can help stop the spread of these mussels by not moving the mid-1980s, zebra mussels hitched a ride in the ballast waters bait or boat well water from one stream to another; dump and of freighter ships traveling from Asia to the Great Lakes.
