Contaminants in aquaculture: Overview of analytical techniques for their determination

This overview discusses the analytical techniques for the determination of contaminants in aquaculture, which could interfere with the food safety of produced organisms such as fish, crustaceans and molluscs. The comparison of the concentrations of the contaminants found in the aquaculture products with those established in the global or the European legislations for foodstuffs is also considered. Finally, future perspectives on the determination of aquaculture contaminants are also proposed.
