The project proposed to create mechanisms that allowed characterizing the quality of Pectens which are commercialized in the Pacific river basin, in order to promote aquaculture best practices and the preservation of natural zones of aquaculture production.

The research has three documents:

1. Guidelines to Harmonization Quality and Traceability Standards in the Pectinidae Trade In Asia-Pacific Region;
2. Requirements for the Pectinidae (“Scallops”) Species Trade in the Asia Pacific Region, and,
3. Commercial Importance Pectinidae Characterization within Asia Pacific Region.
