In France, as in some other European countries, there is strong evidence that toxic algal blooms are increasing in frequency (Cordier et al. 2000; Lassus et al. 2009), and are economically detrimental to the shellfish industry (Belin 2003). As a result, there has been increasing demand from shellfish farmers in recent years to develop industrial scale processes that would allow for continued sale of toxin-free shellfish during periods when harvesting is forbidden due to toxic events.The 3-year project 'Comsaumol' was the result of an agreement between the French administration, shellfish industry representatives and research institutes. As early as 2007, a partnership charter was signed between the Agriculture and Fisheries Ministry, National Shellfish Farming Committee and IFREMER (Institut Francais de Recherche et d'Exploitation de la Mer) in order to support research work on toxic algae and their impact on aquaculture. The objective was to limit economic losses caused by toxic algae in the French shellfish industry. Several publications resulting from this project, offer more detailed methodological descriptions (Castaing et al. 2010, 2011; Gueguen et al. 2008, 2011; Le Grel and Le Bihan 2009; Marcaillou et al. 2010).
